On your iDevice, Open the settings app, and scroll down to messages (or facetime to use it for that). Click on that, and then scroll down to Send & Receive. Click on that, and click add e-mail. Note that on iOS, you can only add e-mails. There's a way around it for some carriers.
To derive the e-mail address, use the first part of the e-mail address as the your cell phone number you want to add, and following the "@" symbol, you type the carrier's domain name. For example, texts to AT&T customers should be sent to "txt.att.net" – so if you have service with AT&T and your cell phone number is 1-222-222-2222, you would use the e-mail address "[email protected]".
All of this is only theory- I've not done it. But, I do use my e-mail on my device in this manner, and it works. So I'd think it would.
The last line of your OP is the reason I think that I might be barking up the wrong tree, but I figured I'd post it just in case I wasn't.
HTH!
