Texts are being sent to my work iPad instead of my work iPhone. Why?

I have a work iPhone and iPad. When they were set-up, my texts were being sent to iPhone. Now my texts are going to the iPad and not the iPhone. I need all message to go to the iPhone.

iPad, iPadOS 17

Did you check on each of your devices, if in Settings/Messages/Send & Receive/ the correct phone number for the iPhone and no identical mail address is selected?


"Start New Conversation From" should also be set to the phone number on your iPhone.
