Why are my text messages ignoring my iPhone and going only to my iPad both on iOS6?

Prior to ios6 messages would sometimes go to both devices but if not my iphone would get them all. Now after i installed iOS6 is on both ipad3 and iphone 4s anyone messaging me from an iphone only goes to my ipad.  I missed two important texts this way.  Any ideas?

Any suggestions as to why I can't see or add a phone number in iMessage on my iPad?
I've added my mobile number to my Apple ID which I thought would flow through to iMessage

    My telephone number used to be on his iphone.

    Because you have both of them configured with the same e-mail address in Messages.

  • Why are my text messages showing up on my wife's IPhone 6 and her Text messages showing up on my iPhone 6?

    Why are my text messages showing up on my wife's iPhone 6 and her test messages showing up on my IPhone 6?

    its because you guys are using the same Apple ID on both devices , when you use the same it connects to iCloud/iMessages so when ever you get a text on any other iPhone with there iMessages on its going to show on both devices because its the same apple ID that you are using for your iMessages , you can fix that buy gating a new apple ID for one of you ,ore go to your system preferences then go in to your iMessages  remove your email from there make shore its only your number on there ,but the best why is to get another Apple ID.

  • HT4515 why are my text messages all of a sudden in green and do not say delivered?

    why are my text messages all of a sudden in green and do not say delivered?  Also for the first time since I obtained the phone I went to use the headphones and the insert to headphones is very loose and I can connect for about 10 seconds then nothing, I do believe it is the jack that inserts into the phone or the phone receptacle is bad or the headphone piece that goes into the phone is bad it is not working is the main issues.  Thank you

    I should also mention we have 2 other iPhone users and 1 Samsung s5 user in my home not having the same problem.

  • Why are some text messages blue and some green

    Why are some text messages blue and some green?

    Blue text messages are iMessages (with other iOS and Mac users with iMessage enabled).
    Green are regular SMS messages to non-iPhone users and iPhone users with iMessage not enabled.

  • How can I receive text messages on my iPhone and iPad ?

    How can I receive text messages on my iPhone and iPad?

    If you are using the iMessage app on your iPad, you need to use the same email address you use on your iPhone.  But, be advised, that when people email your cell number on your iPhone, you will not get the message on your iPad.  iPad is not a cell phone.  And also know that iMessage on iPad is intended to only let you text with other iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) devices. 
    If you want to be able to text to anyone from your contacts list (those for example who do not own an iOS device), there are free apps in the App Store, such as TextFree, which you can download.  But, TextFree will assign you a number (I know kind of odd since iPad is not a cell phone), which you can then text anyone you want.  You'll just need to let your friends know the texts are coming from you.

  • Since i instaled ios 6 , i send a message with my iphone and i receive in my ipad. what is happening?

    since i instaled ios 6 , i send a message with my iphone and i receive in my ipad. what is happening?

    Sounds like it is using your Apple ID / Associated Emails to receive the iMessage. This means that the person who is replying is making it go to your email address. Make sure that the person you are sending the iMessage to has an iPhone as well. I don't remember if other iOS devices can send iMessages to a mobile phone number.

  • Why are my text messages saving on my iPhone?

    When I swipe my screen to the left and the search is on the top, text messages from months ago and also recent ones are showing up. If I type in a certian word, all of the text messages that the word was mentioned in come up. When I try and click on any of the messages, it just brings me back to the last text I sent. Is this a virus? How can I stop my phone from doing this?

    Why are you repeating the question?
    You are signed in with the same Apple ID.
    Sign out of one of the devices.

  • Why are my text messages (not iMessages) being received by people I don't know?

    So it's not the phone?

  • Why are my text messages shard with another iphone

    My Iphone is sharing my text messages with my husbands phone and vise versa. I did hit some type of shared question when I uploaded both our phones on our new mac computer. I wasn't sure what it would actually do. know I know and I don't want it!  How do I reset the settings for this feature?

    When we added a second phone we ran into this. Each phone can receive messages from every phone number (and email address) under that AppleID. You need to go into the settings for messaging on each device and uncheck the numbers and/or addresses that you don't want to use.
    Settings -> Messages -> Send & Receive and then choose what you want and don't want.
    You should also do this for Facetime I think. Maybe something else.

  • TS2755 Frequently when I send text messages from my iPhone, the response comes to my IPad and not my phone. Why?

    Very often, when I send a text from my IPhone, the response comes to my IPad. Why does this happen???

    This is an iMessage, not a text message as in SMS/MMS via your cell phone carrier's network.
    This means you have iMessage enabled on each device with the same Apple ID. This is by design and intention when using the same Apple ID on multiple Apple computers and iOS devices. I have iMessage enabled on my Mac, on my iPhone, and on my iPad with the same Apple ID and all my iMessages are kept synced between all three.

  • Why are 4s text messages sent as MMS?

    I don't have an iPhone 4S, however, more than one person has sent me text messages (only text, no pictures, video, or audio) using their 4S and they are always sent as multimedia (MMS) messages instead of SMS. It seems to happen when they compose a new text, but when they reply to one of my SMS messages, it replies as SMS.
    It's quite annoying, especially since I don't have a plan with unlimited messages and MMS cost me something like a quarter a piece... for something that does not have any multimedia content.
    So what's the deal? Is this an iPhone issue, or only an issue with specific carriers? I haven't asked which carriers my friends use, but I believe it's Verizon and/or AT&T. I don't believe it is an issue with pre- 4S iPhones.

    If the sender is sending out multiple SMS's at the same time, this could be the problem. Most carrier's will send multiple SMS's as MMS...nothing a sender can do about this, except not send multiple SMS's at once.
