I'll provide a slightly more constructive answer. If you are having issues go into the settings and turn it off then back on. Then reset the device. Do this for both devices. Report back with any issues.
 
for my ipad air and iphone 6 works only for calls(receiving and calling)
safari or mail doesn't work and both are using the same icloud account and wifi
 
so if you start compose a mail on your iphone...it will appear on your ipad too?

oh i get it ...both wifi and bluetooth must be on..

Would you suggest holding the home power button or just shutting down and putting it back on?

It worked for me after fiddling with the Facetime and Apple ID settings.

I was told on a different forum they shut that feature down for now for some reason
 
so you can't send or receive text messages for now ? maybe with 16th october will be available
 
My iPad (3) just asked me if I wanted to receive text messages on it. Told me to enter code on iPhone (6). I did. Now getting texts on iPad.
 
Didn't enable anything, just pop up asked if I wanted to receive text messages. Said yes. Entered code on iPhone. Texted a mate who I know is a BB user. Reply arrived on both devices.

Are you in America?
 
Does anyone get Messages handoff to work where your draft message actually gets handed off? For me it just brings up the conversation I'm looking at. Not that useful.
