IPad 2 stopped receiving iMessages sent to my phone number

I have an iPad 2 and an iPhone 4S. When I got the iPad, I was able to sync it with my iPhone just fine. It was sending and receiving iMessages that were directed to my iPhone phone number, and the messages on the two devices were syncing perfectly, all the time.
Then about a week ago, my iPad stopped receiving iMessages that were sent to my iPhone. When I look at the iMessage settings on the iPad, my phone number is no longer listed under the "send and receive" area.
The only troubleshooting I have tried so far is turning iMessage off and then back on on the iPad, and rebooting it. That hasn't worked...any other suggestions?

I would sign out of iMessage on your iPad and make sure its signed back in with the same apple id that you are using on your iPhone, if still does not show on iPad try doing the same steps on the iPhone. Also this article should give you a few other steps in troubleshooting iMessage http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4268

Why can I receive iMessages sent to my phone number on my macbook but not my iPad?

Why can I receive iMessages sent to my phone number on my macbook but not my iPad?
My iPhone phone number appeared as a recipient option on my mac as soon as I launched Messages on my iPhone but not on the iPad and I can't find a way to add it.

You do not have an app but you can setup your iMessage on the iPhone and switch it on (as it is since you receive messages on the iPhone).
In the same setup screen under iMessage you should have send receipt, send as SMS and also Send and Receive howmanyadress > Click on here and you will enter a new screen.
On top there should be you Apple ID and under your phone number. Under the phone number you can add some Mail adress to be used for iMessage. I believe it is important ot have the Apple ID on the top of this screen and at least one Apple Mail checked as to be used for iMessage.
This should be enought to get iMessage both on iPhone and Mac.
Try this and let iCloud to sync for few minutes and you should have the data on the Mac too.

IMessage sent to verizon phone number not received

My friend has a Verizon iPhone 4S and an iPad.
She has her phone # and email address associated with iMessage on both the iPhone and the iPad.
As of today, iMessages sent to her phone number (for example, from my AT&T iPhone 5 and everyone else) never appear on her iPhone.
These iMessages, however, do appear in "Messages" on the iPad.
iMessages sent to the e-mail address do appear on both the iPhone and iPad!
This is really bad, as she is not getting any iMessages sent to the phone number on the iPhone ( that is any text message from anyone on the iMessage network).
Any ideas? This is so bizarre. I can imagine an iMessage getting lost, but why would it just not appear on one device...

SIgned out ALL devices of iMessage
Sent text message to the iPhone - it showed up as a regular green text message as expected
Signed devices back in , starting with the iPhone
Back at the same situation. iPhone not getting iMessages that are sent to the phone #.
I wonder if there is some problem in the IMessage world.

If I travel outside the US with an unlocked iphone and use a local SIM will I still receive iMessages sent to my US number when wifi is activated?

If I travel outside the US with an unlocked iphone and use a local SIM will I still receive iMessages sent to my US number when wifi is activated?

Ok, one of my problems is that when I arrive it will take me a few weeks to get a social security number and only t-mobile will give me a sim without a ssn - but edge for a few weeks will be better than no iPhone.
Unless someone out there can suggest an alternative?

How do I get messages sent to my phone number sent to my iPad

I used to recive iMessages sent to my phone number to my iPad, I got a new phone and I no longer receive them to my iPad. How can I receive iMessages sent to my iPad again.

On your devices check Settings/Messages/Send & Receive to ensure the "reached at" addresses are the same. I would also set the "new conversation" option to the same address on both devices as well unless you specifically want to keep them separated.

Make sure People Sending you via iMessage are sending their messages on your PHONE number not on your EMAIL addresses . My sister had the same problem, thats how i managed to solve it!

When I started my ipad I didn't connect it to my iPhone, and now I want to. How do I do this without losing everything and so that my ipad messages will be sent to my iPhone!?!

Did you read the support article that I posted above? Your iPhone number is associated with your Apple ID, so this should be doable.... Unless your iPhone is associated with a different Apple ID. Then this will not work.
From the support article... You may have to sign out on the phone as well.

IPad stopped receiving emails

Ipad stopped receiving emails, but I receive the emails in my laptop & smart phone

Trying logging into your yahoo email on a personal computer and see that is successful. It sounds like the password is the issue.

Hmm... Just found out the 6 and 6 Plus were updated to 8.1.1 today. Coincidently, that's when this started.
Another thing is both phones ring and you can answer either one, or both. fwding is not selected.
Thanks Kilted Tim.

Launch iTunes on your computer, plug the phone in & on the "Summary Pane", select "Restore". This will restore the phone to factory settings with all of your son's stuff gone. You can now use it as an iPod touch. To do this REQUIRES the deactivated sim card be still installed in the phone.

Why wont imessage connect to my phone number

ive tried connecting to my imessage on my mac pro and my iphone 4s and neither will send or receive messages through my cell number help please!!!

Ok, I had the same problem myself, and so did my daughter and this fixed them both. Go into settings, scroll down and click on messages, scroll down to send & receive. you should see your phone number in grey then your email address underneath which will have a black tick next to it (if its the same issue as ours) click on the tick so it disapears then click to the left of your phone number and the tick should appear next to that instead. Click on the arrow at the top left of your screen to go back into the messages main menu. At the top slide the bar next to imessage to off, wait 10 seconds or so then slide it back to on. It should then say underneath in grey "iMessages can be sent between iphone, ipad, ipod touch and mac. Go back out of your settings and give it a whirl, if it works, tell me I'm a legend & I made your day! Cheers
