Why is my child's number receiving texts on my iPad?
All of a sudden I'm getting face time from my kid's assigned #
Face time too! Why oh why
You need to create a separate Apple ID for the kid and put it on the kid's phone. You are currently sharing the same ID with the kid, so the system thinks you and the child are the same person. Separate IDs will fix this. Do it now.

Another thing you can try is to ensure that the setting for ( send as sms if imessage unavailable ) is turned on, this can be found in Settings : Messages. If this doesnt work you can also try changing the contact details to read mobile instead of iphone.
That setting is not relevant to sending SMS messages to non-iPhones. It only affects what happens when an iMessage won't go through to an iOS device. And, what the phone number is labeled has no effect on anything. You could create a custom label "Rutabaga" and the SMS would still go through if the account was properly provisioned. Those labels are for human brain convenience only. -
Why can't I send or receive text messages to some users from my iPad mini while there is no problem texting them from my iPhone?
With the Apple iMessage app, You can only Message with other iOS users - iPads, iPod Touch, iPhone users and Macs running Mountain Lion or higher. With your iPhone, you can send standard SMS text messages to any phone, including Android phones.
The iPad cannot send SMS messages or receive them either. -

Why can't I send or receive text messages on my I pad.
1. Messages on the iPad can only be sent to other iDevices
2. They must also be registered with iMessage
Note: The two above conditions must be met. -

Why can't I send and receive text messages on my new 5c ?
I can send imessages. I can sometimes send texts. But I cannot ever send picture texts. and I am not receiving texts.Antny,
Yikes, this is no bueno let's get these messages back up and flowing. Are you able to send out regular text messages ok? Ensure your Picture Messages feature is turned on, follow these steps: Settings>Messages>MMS Messaging. Also ensure Send as SMS is turned on as well. If these features are turned on then try this: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings then retest. Keep us posted please.

HT3529 why do I only see my group text on my iPad on iMessage?
Why do i only see my group text on my iPad on iMessage. I do not see any of my other messages
You will only receive messages from other users using an Apple product with iMessage. The cell phone carriers service from your cell network and other messging sources have no way of making it to your iPad. iMessage is stricky for Apple.

TS4268 I can't receive text on my IPad except for other apple users
I can't receive text on my IPad except from other apple users. My Iphone works fine, texting to Ipad, however I can't receive from others.
SMS/MMS is a voice cell technology and not natively supported on any device not a cellphone. Messaging through iMessage is the only method included with the iPad. There are third-party apps that support SMS messaging available the iTunes Store, though I don't know how well any of them work or if indeed any can support receving SMS messages or can only send.

Why is my Iphone 3gs still receiving texts without having a sim card in it?
My daughter took her sim card out of her iphone 3gs, but the phone is still receiving text messages. The phone works, but is pretty beat up, and she is now using an older phone she has till she can upgrade.
ThanksAllen is most likely correct. If she is running iOS 5, then they are iMessages. Assuming she's connected to WiFi, she can still use iMessage.
Tell her to turn it off in Settings>Messages. Once she does, the messages should start going to the phone she's actually using. -
Why am I having trouble sending/receiving text messages to a blackberry phone?
what can I do to enable my iphone 4 will not send or receive text messages from non-iphone users.
It sounds as if you don't have SMS enabled on your account. Contact your carrier. They should be able to add that.

Why can't my Iphone 4s receive texts from other iphone users?
I got my phone maybe 2 weeks ago and had no problem sending or receiving text messages. For the past 2 days, i have not been able to receive text messages from other iPhone users. My texts go through just fine but I never get a response back until they call and are like "well what do you think about blah blah?" But I have sent and rec'd text messages from people with other devices. What is going on?
Oh my! Let's ensure these text messages are flying both in and out of your device. I would suggest completing the newest iOS 7.0.3 update. Once this has been completed I would suggest retesting. Settings > Software update
You may also test with iMessage off. This will send messages to and from iPhone's as a regular text message. Settings > Messages > iMessage - Off

Not receiving texts after buying iPad
Hi
After buying an iPad my incoming texts kept going to the iPad. I turned iMessage off the iPad as it's at home in use by other family members when I'm out. I then stopped receiving texts or the texts I did receive had removed the contacts name and left the number so I had no idea who they were from. After reading your forum I turned I message back on the iPad, still no texts and the missing texts not showing. I'm not sure what to do next, shall I just disable I message from both iPhone and iPad and not bother with it? I don't want messages going to my iPad only my phone.
This is causing issues as I receive texts regarding work and arrived at work to a huge issue I had no idea about due to not receiving the texts the night before. Suggestions would be much appreciated
ThanksHello Marry mini,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with iMessage on your iPad and iPhone.
It sounds like you prefer not to receive messages on your iPad, so I recommend leaving iMessage off in Settings > Messages on the iPad.
iPad User Guide - Messages settings
http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad99acb5bb
Next, I recommend the following steps to troubleshoot iMessage on your iPhone:
To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps first
Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you have registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you have selected iMessage for use. Learn more about troubleshooting iMessage registration if the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use.
Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. Learn more about troubleshootingcellular data or a Wi-Fi connection if a data connection isn't available.
iMessage over cellular data might not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while on a call if your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls.
Restart your device.
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
If you are still unable to send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
Verify that the contact you are attempting to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact in the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
Back up and restore your device as new.

Additionally, you mentioned your contacts' names are missing. You may want to check in Settings > iCloud and verify that you are signed into iCloud and have Contacts enabled there:
