The devices in the ecosystem Apple are famous for the multiple possibilities of interaction and synchronization between them, all through the account iCloud. The pictures, the music, the meanings from Notes, Reminders, Calendar, Contacts and even the messages are automatically synchronized between all the devices on which the same is authenticated Apple id. Regarding the messages, there is a difference, which is why I am not receiving them SMS on Mac or iPad, but only iMessages.
In an article I showed the difference between the two types of messages, iMessages si SMS, which we receive on the iPhone in the Messages application.
Messages received / sent between iPhone users are made through the service iMessage al Apple. When we create an account Apple (Apple ID), associated with the email address is also a phone number. The transport of this type of messages is done via the Internet and has nothing to do with standard messages SMS which are through the mobile phone operator. Reason why users are not getting SMS on Mac.
When you receive a message like iMessage, it will automatically reach all the devices you have the same Apple id. Mac, iPad, Apple Watch and iPhone.
