Q: trying to to get my text messages forwarded between my iPhone and iPad

I'm trying to to get my text messages forwarded between my iPhone and iPad.  The phone asks me to type the "code" shown on my iPad.  Howeve, no code shows up.  How do I proceed?  Very frustrating!!

    Both devices need to be signed in with the same Apple ID and the device(s) need to be unlocked for the code to appear. After confirming both are true I suggest you try a reset (both devices): Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears. -- Note: No Data will be lost. Then try again.
