iMessage not working on ipad after ios 9.2 update

Ugh. My iphone and ipad used to sync so that I could use either device to send/receive text messages. After the ios 9.0, 9.1, 9.2 updates the ipad messaging does not work. Have tried to reset network, changed Apple ID password, turn off/on device, turn on/off messaging. Nothing works. When I try to send text, it looks like its sending then bar stops just short of the end and I get the red "Not Delivered". Very frustrated. Any ideas how to fix? Thanks in advance.

iPad 2, iOS 9.0.2

Had the same problem. i was able to figure it out. On your iPhone - under Settings>Messages, turn on Text Message Forwarding. It will give you choice of which device, choose iPad. This seems to have fixed my issue. Hope it works for you.
