iOS 8 is meant to allow you to relay SMS and MMS messages to other iOS devices, e.g. use your iPad to send and receive text messages through your iPhones account.

Both my iPad and iPhone are running iOS 8.1, but the "Forward Text Messages" option is not there?

I am with Spark, is this a feature that is carrier dependent?

Edit: typos

OK, figured it out.

I needed to enable my iPhone phone number in the "You can be reached by iMessage at" setting on the iPad. Then the option showed up on the iPhone (before doing this the option wasn't even there.
