Contact your mobile service provider to make sure you're sending a text message (SMS) to the right number.; Remove any signatures at the end of your text messages (SMS) which can interfere with Facebook getting those messages.
On my macbook, I successfully set up iCloud and can view all my contacts and such in the Contacts app.
On my iPhone6, I went into settings -> Text Messaging Forwarding and turned on the indicator for my macbook pro. Then my iPhone6 asks me for a code 'shown on your Mac'. But no code is showing up on my mac?
What now?

The iPhone and the macbook should be on the same wifi network.
- Open the messages app in your macbook, then go to preferences. Click on iMessage account and you should see your iCloud account, check the box near email and phone number
- go to your iPhone settings -> messages -> Send and receive, and see if your email is there.
- turn on text message as you did before, the code will show on your messages app on the macbook

I just got this problem coming with my Mac on Sierra and my iPhone on iOS 10.
I ve deleted the text forwarding message toggle accidently and couldn't receive anymore any text into the MacBook Pro.
The solution for me was to logout of the iMessage icloud account under settings > message > Send and receive > Click on the Apple ID > sign out.
Sign in with another Apple ID into the message section > send and receive > sign in > activated
Go to the Mac and sign out of iMessage going to messages > option top left corner > Apple ID sign out > sign in with the secondary Apple ID >
The Mac will receive the code and will be associated whenever you change the Apple ID since this feature is related to text message and your phone number actually havent changed.
So now you just want to disconnect again from the iPhone first and then connect again >go to the Mac and do the same >
Then you'll have the message iMessage is now used on your new iPhone or Mac
close the settings app on the iPhone
Then you should be able to send text messages again
I hope I ve been clear enough
Cheers
No Code On My Mac For Text Message Forwarding Not Working

My Mac Mini, running El Capitan, and my iPhone 6 Plus are both on the same WiFi network, however when I select the Mac Mini in the Text Message Forwarding settings, it does not send a code to my Mac Mini.
If Messages is not running on my Mac Mini, then selecting the Mac Mini in the Text Message Forwarding settings on my iPhone will start the program, but no code. I have signed out and back in to iCloud on both devices, and I have rebooted both devices. Nothing seems to work.
In fact, everything was working as it should until around the time I updated to El Capitan.
How can I troubleshoot SMS handoff from a cell phone to OS X?

Handoff works over bluetooth primarily, so you don't really need WiFi connectivity. Start by toggling the bluetooth on both devices and see if other handoff / airdrop operations work. That will rule out interference and other issues on the basic connectivity.
You do need to be signed in to the exact same iCloud account on both devices, so checking the clocks of both and signing out and in can often verify iCloud account is operational on both sides.

Saw on reddit you have to make sure in preferences of messages that you are on the same Apple ID as on your phone, some times for what ever reason they can be different than the account on the computer.
All that was correct for me, simply logging out in message preferences and logging back in fixed the issue for me.
