Can't send SMS anymore on iOS 10

Hi everyone,


So I updated my iPhone 6S Plus and my iPad Pro 12,9" to iOS 10 and since, I can't send SMS from my iPad. I receive them correctly but just can't send them right. iMessages however just seem to work well.


Any suggestions? Thanks.


I tried to switch off and on iMessages and Facetime on the iPad but nothing changes ...

iPad Pro, iOS 10

@Michael, All of my continuity setting are as described in the article you shared, yet whenever I try to send an SMS from my Mac or iPad, It get a "Not Delivered" error. What's strange is that the message does actually go through my iPhone. Secondly, any SMS received is not visible in my iPad or Mac. There does seem to be a bug here. I hope Apple addresses this soon.

I have this exact same issue. Everything seemed to be working and the only thing that changed as far as I know was my iPhone 7 was set to update overnight but failed as I'd forgotten to plug it into its charger during the update. Now I get a failed sent message to non-iPhone users on my Mac and iPad yet it's working on my iPhone. Extremely frustrating as it's timed perfectly to a very long upcoming business trip. To no avail, I've tried everything found throughout various forums filled with similar issues being experienced by other users.
