Three mobile network appears to be blocking hummy.tv

Some years back I got a Mifi device

Yes MiFi! I forgot.

Did you check that setting on your iCloud for your iPad?

I don't have a SIM (or even a SIM socket) in my iPad, but I'm sure that doesn't make a difference. iPhones have call-handling hardware, iPads don't (even those with data SIMs).

Not sure if this video helps...

That's for getting SMS and iMessages sent to your phone's number to also appear on your iPad, which works find for me. It's the iPad's SIM phone number I need to be able to receive on.

I tried registering for a Three account again. Registering email address works fine, then Three ask for the mobile number(s) to associate with the account. Give that, and then they try to send a text so you can confirm the number is correct and link it to the account. This is an iPad, they don't receive texts because Apple don't allow it. This makes it impossible to register this Three SIM for an account unless I happen to have another device I can put the SIM in (which I don't, it's a data SIM).

A data SIM is just a normal SIM. capable of sending/receiving texts and phone calls just like any other SIM, its just the associated plan doesn't include any free allowance for texts and phone calls,

You should be able to put the SIM into a phone to receive the text message, just don't send messages or make phone calls,

I needed to log on my Three broadband hub device to receive the text messages sent by Three and as an experiment sent a text, which worked, but was charged 10p on my next bill, There is no charge for receiving text messages.

It turns out Three now do data SIMs with included roaming again, they started about a year ago. But they're nearly twice the monthly cost of my existing SIM so I won't be changing to a new contract.
