Hi E53c8r1b, thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities.


To help with your issue if we can go through some steps as follows:


On your iPhone:

  • Please go to Settings > Messages and turn off and on iMessage
  • Check 'Text Message Forwarding' and turn off and on the iPad
  • Check that 'Send as SMS' is also on as this allows messaging when iMessage is not available
  • Check that 'MMS Messaging' is also on
