Question: Can I get iMessage texts from my Iphone on Ipad Mini?

Answer:

iMessages can be received on any device running iOS 6 or later. This includes just about every iPad except the original, and including the mini.  They can even be sent. Understand though, that all other text messages (from non-iPhones) cannot and will not be received on your iPad.

For example: Billy is texting Jane, who is also talking to Marge.  Billy and Jane have iPhones, but Marge has a blackberry. Any texts from Marge to Jane will not sync to Jane’s iPad, because they are not using the imessage service, but texts from Billy will, because he is using imessage.
