Hello Genben,


Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.


These steps can walk you though setting up iMessage on your iPad:


"Turn on iMessage

When you communicate with others using iMessage, you can use more apps and features, like read receipts, undo send, message editing, audio messages, collaboration, inline replies, and more.

  1. Go to Settings  > Messages, then turn on iMessage.
  2. To select the phone numbers and email addresses you want to use with iMessage, go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, then choose from the available options below “You can receive iMessages to and reply from.”"


Additional details can be found here: Set up Messages on iPad

If you run into any issues, can you provdie a few more details? Which iPad do you currently have? Which iPadOS version is installed? Also, what happens when you attempt to set up FaceTime and iMessage


Cheers!
