This is what solved my problem which came from another thread I posted.
Set up SMS and MMS with Continuity
- You need iOS 8 or later on your iOS devices and OS X Yosemite or later on your Mac.
- Sign in to iMessage with the same Apple ID on your iPhone, your other iOS devices, and your Mac.
- On your iPhone, go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Add a check to both your phone number and email address. Then go to Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding and enable the device or devices that you want to forward messages to.
- Look for a code on the Mac, iPad, or iPod touch that you enabled. Then enter this verification code on your iPhone.
Make sure that your email address is checked everywhere.
