If you have an iPhone - and both iPad and iPhone are signed-in to iCloud with the same AppleID - to receive (or send) SMS/MMS messages to or from your iPad, you must explicitly enable Text Message Forwarding for your iPad on your iPhone...


On your iPhone:

Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding - set to ON - and explicitly enable your iPad from the list of devices.


Also ensure that Messages in iCloud is enabled on both your iPhone and iPad:

Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > Messages - set to ON

Your iPad will be able to send and receive messages using Apple’s proprietary iMessage service. SMS/MMS messaging, as used by many services to send verification codes, are a Cellular messaging feature - in this case, reliant upon your iPhone.


If the settings are not correct on the iPhone, you’ll not receive Cellular messaging on your iPad. Messaging and WiFi calling are configured independently of each other.
