Cant send texts from ipad because I don't want it linked to my iphone

I have an ipad 3rd gen that is a personal device.  I also have an iphone 4 that is a device provided to me by my employer. i want to be able to send and receive texts from both devices, but I do not want texts from one to show up on the other and vice versa.  I have only one apple id, and would prefer to keep it that way.  How do i set this up, because I believe that my inability to do so is resulting in me not being able to send/receive texts on my ipad.

You can't do what you are attempting to do with a single AppleID.
The iPad can only send messages through iMessages - it is not able to send or receive traditional text (SMS) messages. So, even if you were to use it you could only receive messages from other Apple devices using Messages.

    The password is set on the WiFi router providing the service, by the owner of the network to prevent unwanted "guests" accessing the network.  The only way to know it is to ask the owner permission to use the network.  Otherwise, you  have to find a free WiFi hotspot that doesn't require a password.

    Contact your carrier. SMS is a carrier function and they would be the one that would be providing the error. Have them make sure your account is provisioned correctly for SMS. You might also want to double-check your settings for Dial Assist.

    Format the phone *#7370# default code 12345 but before you do that, do a backup of the data on the phone but not the messages.
    Restore the data back and it should work.

    SMS is a carrier feature. Start by contacting your carrier and making sure your account is properly configured. Even if it was before, sometimes changing phones causes glitches.

  • I cant send messages from my ipad?

    i cant send messages from my ipad

    More information would be important.  No idea if you're talking about email messages or iMessage or something else entirely.  If you're referring to iMessage, note that you cannot use that to text any non-iOS device...  Only other iPads, iPods or iPhones.

  • My iMessage isn't working for sending texts from my iPad

    Can anyone help? I am receiving messages, but when I try to respond, it just keeps "sendin". I then have to head to my iPhone and re type everything to send from there. It used to work, but with ios7 it stopped working.

  • Hi, everyone. I just got new ipad2 with 3G now (the one before didn't have 3g) and I was hoping to send texts from my ipad. Not happening... Any reason why?

    I just got another ipad, now  with 3g . I did hope I'll be able to text from it...not happening. The address goes idle/red with a red exclamation mark. I spent 15 min with Apple on the phone. Didn't help. Can I really send texts from IPAD2 with 3g?

    The email to which you are sending it to may not be correct. You can only send it an Apple ID with that email. For example, I could try to send it to my friend Bob who frequently uses the email bob@sample_email.com but his Apple ID may be bobby@sample_email.com. Maybe that helps?

  • My ipad is sending texts from my email instead of my mobile number. iPhone 5s and ipad 3rd generation

    My ipad stopped sending texts from my mobile #, I have an iPhone 5s. It now sends texts only from my email.  How do I add my phone number back on to the ipad?

    Go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at>check (select) your iPhone number in there - if it is appearing. If the phone number does not appear, try turning Messages off on both the iPhone and the iPad. Restart both devices. Turn Messages on the iPhone first and activate it. Then do the same on the iPad and hopefully the phone number will be accessible again.

  • Cant sent texts from my ipad

    can't send texts from my ipad

    If you want to use the SMS feature, which allows you to send SMS from your iPad with the iPhone number, for 1st you need to update both devices to iSO 8.1 (as I can see, you have iPad on 7.1.2)
    2nd, both devices must be connected to the same apple ID, and on the same wifi network
