I didn't have my own personal Contact info in my Google Contacts, which I use as my Contacts with my iPhone/Pad. I've now added that info and I see it on my iPad Contacts. I just attempted to send my son a text on my iPad as a test and I see a message that is Contact in not registered or associated (I forgot the exact terminology) with iMessages. He's in my Contacts and I've messaged him before on my iPhone. Any ideas on this?
In rereading some earlier posts in this thread that I may have previously overlooked, there was info about entering my contact in iMessage. I haven't entered my info or anything else there, and I wouldn't even know where to enter that info in iMessage. BTW, also I don't believe I ever entered this info in my iPhone either.
Thanks again for your help and patience.
