Hey y'all! I'm having an issue here with texting from my iPad. iMessages work fine, but regular SMS messages are giving me issues. So I'll be texting someone... and two threads pop up. One has the number looking like normal and then the second one has a "+44" in front and then the numbers are separated incorrectly (picture below for an example). Also, when sending texts, the other person only receives the text if I send a reply through the normal looking phone number. If sent through the +44 number, the text just stays in limbo.

All the settings for iMessage and FaceTime match 100% between the iPhone and iPad. I've used this before and have never had an issue. I can't figure out if it's an issue with iOS 10.2.1 beta 1 (both devices are running same iOS version) or if it's the fact that my number was changed around 2 weeks ago (even so, the phone number is the same on the iPhone and iPad).

Anyone have any suggestions?
