I set up "Call & Text on Other Devices" between my phone and tablet and it was working fine. In the past few days, text messages are not appearing on my tablet. Phone calls still appear on my tablet and I can answer from my tablet. But text messages are not appearing.
I have deleted the connection between the two (delete the tablet connection from the phone and the setting on the tablet for "Call and Text on Other Devices" becomes disabled) and recreated it and it all looks fine. But text messages no longer come through.
Approximately in this time frame, my tablet received the March 1 security patch and my phone received an update on March 1.
This began working again a few days ago without me intentionally doing anything. Made me wonder if there was some server-side change made.
Nonetheless, reading the link you provided did point out that this wouldn't work on "Verizon phones". I assume this means locked phones sold by Verizon. Mine is an unlocked phone sold by Samsung but I hadn't been aware of this caveat prior.
