  • Changed from Iphone to Xperia Z1 and cant receive texts from iphone users

    i recently changed from Iphone to Z1 but can not receive text messages from a lot of iphone users ( i can from some which i strange). i have turned off the Imessage setting on the old Iphone and let it sit for 30mins for apple servers to identify this. i have also done a software repair via PC Companion but still doesnt work.
    any suggestions?

    The thing is that your friends still using iPhone must remove you from iMessage. Otherwise you might end up with this problem.

  • I cant receive text from ppl that have iphone sine i got andriod

    i cant receive text from ppl in my contact that have iphone very frustated

    Follow this article: iOS: Deactivating iMessage - Support - Apple
    If that doesn't work, contact Apple Support who can revoke the iMessage/Facetime certificate from association to your phone number.
    Also:
    1) Go to www.icloud.com and remove the device from Find My iPhone.
    2) Go to appleid.apple.com and change the primary email address of your Apple ID to something different (per Apple ID: Changing your Apple ID).
    3) Also at appleid.apple.com, change the password to your Apple ID (per Apple ID: Changing your password).
    4) Have any iPhone user attempting to send you a text message do the following:
    4a) Verify that in Settings > Messages that if iMessage is turned on to ensure that ‘Send as SMS’ is also turned on.
    4b) Delete the existing message thread, if any.
    4c) Delete your contact and readd, using only the phone number (no email).
    4d) Attempt to send a new text message to you.

  • I just got an iphone 6 plus and I cant receive texts from android or nokia users??

    I just got an iphone 6 plus and I cant receive texts from android or nokia users??
    I previously had a iphone 4s and iphone 5. Set up my phone as a brand new phone and I cant receive any texts from any of my friends that have android or nokia users and cant receive pictures from them also. Its very frustrating...does anyone have any fixes of solutions to this???

    SMS is a carrier feature. Start by contacting your carrier and making sure your account is properly configured. Even if it was before, sometimes changing phones causes glitches.

  • Droid unable to receive text from iphone

    I have a Droid and am unable to receive texts from a contact with an AT&T iphone.  I can send this person texts and they go thru fine but I am unable to receive their texts.  Any known glitches?....solutions?  Thanks!!!

    Make sure you have DATA turned on when receiving texts from iPhone users. I often keep my data off to save battery, then cant open texts from iPhones. Turned data back on then was able to get them.

  • I just got a droid MAXX and I'm not receiving texts from iPhones.

    ok so i just switched from an iphone after having 2 for 4 years and i got a motorola droid maxx 2 days ago. i am not receiving texts from iphone users and i dont know why. i gave verizon my phone and so i cant turn off imessage but i cleared the phone before i gave it to them. i have also changed my apple i.d. and i have deactivated all my products such as my mac book pro and my two previous iphones. this is exactly why i switched because apple has to be a CULT and make everything so complicated. please help me solve apples stupidity.

    That was a asinine and catty response.  I and many others have the same problem.  turning off imessage is not an effective solution.  I have turned off imessage, deactivated the phone with apple and wiped the phone clean.  the problem persists.

  • Not receiving texts from iPhone contacts when I'm not connected to wifi or cell data. I can't send and receive regular SMS texts with non iMessage users but iMessage users message are not being converted to text when I don't have internet connect

    I can send and receive to any non iPhone user. I can send a message as a text to an iPhone user but if I'm not connected to cellular data or wifi I do not receive messages from iPhone contacts. From what I understand these message should automatically send to me as texts instead of iMessages but since the update it's not functioning properly. Please help. I've tried turning iMessage off and I still don't receive the messages until after I reconnect to wifi.

    I have the same problem! Before the upgrade, if I wasn't connected to the internet, any messages sent to me from an iphone would convert automatically to a text message. I have payg tarriff, so I turn cell data off, as it costs too much to use it. I have wifi at home and work, but if I'm out and about, I don't receive texts from iphone users until I'm on wifi. I get them ok from non iphone users. There was never any problem until ios7

  • Not receiving texts from iPhone users

    I recently got a new Samsung Galaxy S4.  I registered this phone to a new number.... I did not port an existing number to the phone.  Since getting the phone, I have had trouble receiving texts from iphone users - their messages will not come through on my phone unless their imessage is turned off.  As you can imagine, this is quite a hassle - having to explain this problem every time I give someone my number, and several people having to change their settings every time they text me.
    I've done research on this problem, and it seems that this happens when you port a number from an iphone to an android.  The problem is fixed when you update your apple id account, and delete the number from the imessage service.  I am concerned that my current number used to be registered to an iphone - and that the number is possibly still associated with an imessage account.  I have no way of changing this, so I'm stuck.
    I understand that this may be a problem that only Apple can fix, but any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

        Hello annaesharon, I know that receiving all of your text messages are important, indeed! Sorry to learn that you've been missing many of yours due to this. Thanks for reaching out to us - it's my pleasure to help.
    The good news is that you are absolutely on the right track. The best way to take care of this is to ensure the phone number is un registered with Apple/iMessage. You mentioned that this is a brand new phone number for you, so we would also like the opportunity to check a few things on your line as well.  Do you receive any type of alert or error message when the iPhone text try to come through? Which application are you using, primarily, to send/receive text messages. Let us know! We want to help get to the bottom of this for you.

  • HT201269 how do i unregister my iphone? I have the galaxy s4 now and cannot receive texts from iphone users.

    How do i unregister my old Iphone, i no longer have it in my possesion. I now have the galaxy s4 and cannot receive texts from iphone users

    Hello AnnH2
    If you have access you your old iPhone, just sign out of Messages. If you do not have access to it, then change your Apple ID password.
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
    Unlink a phone number
    To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    This should remove your phone number from other devices using the same Apple ID with FaceTime and Messages. If the phone number is still available on other devices after you sign out of FaceTime and iMessage on the iPhone, you may need to sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your devices, then sign in to FaceTime and Messages again on devices you want to use.
    Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.
    Regards,
    -Norm G.

  • I used to have an iphone 4 but recently switched to a galaxy but now cant recieve texts from iphone users

    i recently got a galaxy but used to have an iphone 4 but now i cant receive text messages from iphone users, the messages are still coming in as imessages.

    You can try resetting the password for the Apple ID you were using for iMessage by going to https://iforgot.apple.com/.  If that doesn't work, you'll have to contacct Apple support for assistance.

  • Galaxy Nexus - not receiving texts from iPhone 4s

    This morning, my girlfriend sent me a text from her iPhone 4s, synced to my computer with her Apple account, on the same contract, to my Galaxy Nexus.  I kept getting texts from her, and every text I sent appeared to have sent, but she didn't get a single one from me after her first text this morning.  The messaging web app gives me a "failed" error with a delivery status of "319066302769."  Both phones have messaged each other fine since the day we signed the contract until today, and we've both been text messaging other people perfectly fine.  My phone number has never been associated with an activated iOS device on Verizon or any other carrier.  In fact, I've never owned an activated iOS device on any smartphone plan (except in college, I had a loaner iPod touch for iOS development, registered to my school email on a different computer, a loaner Macbook Pro).  Every thing I found on Google is the opposite, Android users unable to receive texts from iOS users.  Thanks for any help in advance

        Hi xg33kx,
    That is definitely an unusual situation. I'm sure it's frustrating that it isn't working when you need it. Do either of you have trouble with texting anyone else? Try turning off Wi-Fi on both devices, and see if the problem persists or continues when using only the mobile network. Please keep us updated with this situation so we can help to resolve!
    Thank you,
