How do I set up iMessage on my iPad using my phone number

I Know there is a feature which allows me to send iMessages from my iPad using my phone number, but am unable to find it.

The phone number must be an iPhone number. No other phone number will work.
Settings> Messages> Send & Receive> You can be reached by iMessages at. If the phone number appears in there, select it as your contact number. If the phone number does not appear, you most likely will have to start over again by turning messages off on your iPhone, enable it again, and then the number should be accessible to use on the iPad.
This explains it in more detail.

    HI Ralph,
    I'm having a hard time finding solution for iMessage.
    I can't send to one specific contact - we both use 4s iOS 6.1.3 and so is he.
    We cant send to each other. We tried to on/off sign in And sign out Apple ID on both phone and still doesn't work
    We even reset and erase content on his iPhone.
    We use different Apple ID.
    Looking forward to your reply, thanks in advance!
    I have added some punctuation and spread out the text to see if I have understood what you were saying.
    The Original Post  was about iMessages from the Mac Messages app.
    Now we are talking about  two people with  an iPhone each.
    You seem to be centered on something being amiss with his set up as you have Reset and Erased his iPhone  (no info on any restore from any backup).
    Can he/could he contact with anyone else before you reset his iPhone ?
    Can he contact anyone else now ?
    If this person cannot contacts anyone from his iPhone it would seem he has not set up the iPhone correctly.
    This may be a simple thing such as not having a Data Contract and therefore having Data Off and not be connected to a Wifi Network either.
    It may be more involved such as there being an issue with his Apple ID.
    If he removes the Apple ID  can he Send from the iPhone Number ?

    Use the same ID in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on both devices and have people use that ID. Your iPhone number would be a good choice.

    If you also want seperate Contacts and some other things:
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card

    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.   
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

  • HT3529 Why can't I set up iMessage on my iPad?

    It says iOS is up to date and it has battery. I sign in and my phone number &amp; email are checked. When I press next, it says verifying for a few seconds then goes back to sign in. I keep trying but it doesn't change. My friend with an iPad 3 is having the same issue when she tries to setup FaceTime. I don't know how to make it work! I also have tried only checking my phone number or only checking my email but the result is the same. I've noticed however that it says iOS is up to date, 6.1.3, but on the Apple site there seems to be 6.1.4 available. I don't expect this is the problem, but it's just something I noticed.

  • How do I turn off iMessage on my iPad?

    I only want my messages to come on my phone and computer--not the iPad my kids use.  I still want the videos and apps available on the iPad, though.
    I'd really like my kids (who are staying at my parents house) not to have access to the iMessages my wife and I are sending to each other.
    The iPad seems to have lost the option to turn off iMessage.  I can either delete my entire Apple ID (and thereby disable all the apps and videos my kids use) or leave my iMessages on, and thereby have my parents and kids able to listen in to the conversation between my wife and I.
    How do I remove my iMessages from the iPad?
    Help!?

    You do not see this? Did you ever set up Messages on the iPad? Are you sure that you are not in the next Screen? Do you see a button "Messages" in the upper left corner of the screen thsat you are in? If so, tap it to move back one screen.
