Can't received text from my old iphone

I can't receive text messages from my old phone (now my son is using it). If I'm within WiFi range It works - only through Imessage not SMS.
Help!
I've tried all the fixes - it's only a problem from my old phone not other iphone users

Did you try another USB cable?
Is it recognized by another computer?
Autosync can be activated in iTunes/Settings/Devices

Have a 5S w/ Sprint, can't receive texts from verizon non-iphones!

Ported a # as of 10/2 from Tmobile to the iphone 5s I received from Sprint.
Since then I can't receive texts from verizon non-iphones! They
can see my texts. Googling this, it seems like there's been issues
like this for other people. Can anyone advise as this is very bad!

SMS and MMS are carrier features. There is nothing you can do on your phone to fix this. It's either a problem with Sprint, Verizon, or T-Mobile. You've reported the problem to Sprint, that's all you can do. About the only other thing that could be done would be to have somone you know on Verizon who can't send messages to you open a ticket with Verizon.

What did you used to send her an iMessage, using her phone number or e-mail address?

How can I receive text messages on my iPhone and iPad ?

How can I receive text messages on my iPhone and iPad?

If you are using the iMessage app on your iPad, you need to use the same email address you use on your iPhone. But, be advised, that when people email your cell number on your iPhone, you will not get the message on your iPad. iPad is not a cell phone. And also know that iMessage on iPad is intended to only let you text with other iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) devices.
If you want to be able to text to anyone from your contacts list (those for example who do not own an iOS device), there are free apps in the App Store, such as TextFree, which you can download. But, TextFree will assign you a number (I know kind of odd since iPad is not a cell phone), which you can then text anyone you want. You'll just need to let your friends know the texts are coming from you.

How can I transfer music from my old iphone 4 to the new iphone 5S without having the music synced to my laptop (e.g. my itunes library is empty)?

How can I transfer music from my old iphone 4 to the new iphone 5S without having the music on the old phone synced to my laptop (e.g. my itunes library on the laptop is empty) ?
I tried the "Transfer Purchases" option - however this only worked for apps - not sure if I'm missing some sort of setting.
I do not want to use iCloud as I do not have enough space for my music.
Thanks!

You cannot. The music must be in the iTunes library first. See these User Tips:
Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device

Disable iMessage as can't receive texts from iPhone users on new Android phone

I have done everything I can find online about this:
Deleted/unregistered the device from my profile
Changed my password
Changed the number to 000000000 on my iPhone
Switched iMessage off on my iPhone
Deleted the device from my iCloud account.... HELP.
When I call apple I can't speak to someone it says I need to pay £25 as I do not have cover. Really?! Is there another number I can call? Any help appreciated. Will it work eventually? I have waited a week and still can't receive text messages from my husband on his iPhone. It's driving me mad! I love my new Android phone (LG G2) but this is so frustrating.

Hi zara343, I had a similar problem. I have a iphone and my daughter changed from iphone to android. We couldn't receive text messages to each other, she had no other problems with her other contacts, just mine. It was driving me crazy. My phone kept recognizing her android as an iphone. Yes I turned iMessage off and yes I could receive my daughters messages, but my two other daughters and a few friends had iPhones, so I didn't get their messages. My problem is now fixed, I tried to send a message to my daughter and it came up undelivered, so I pressed the red exclamation mark to the right of the undelivered message and it gave me the option to try again, send as a text message or cancel. So I pressed send as a text message and my daughter received it, I tried again and message undelivered, so again I pressed the exclamation mark and went through the same process as before. I thought what a pain but did a third and now my iphone does not recognise her phone number as an iphone. So your husband would have to do this with his iphone and I am confident it will work, and me as an iphone user can keep iMessage switched on. Hope this helps.

LG G2 can't receive text from iPhone

LG G2 can't receive text msg from iPhone, any ideas?

Dualregistered,
Yikes! I depend on text messages for my main communication. So I know how important it is to have them working. So with that being said, let's get to work. Did you just upgrade to the LG G2 from an iPhone? How long have you had this issue were you can't receive messages from iPhones? Also, are you able to send messages to these people that have iPhones and are they getting yours? Please keep me posted.

New phone - can't receive texts from iphones

Hi all. I've just bought a new phone (non iphone), I've followed the instructions to turn off imessage but I still cannot receive texts from anyone with an iphone. Does anyone know of anything else I can do? Thanks in advance

Not sure what "instructions" you followed, but see this:

I switched from an iPhone to a Droid and can't receive texts from iPhones now, help?

I switched from my iPhone 4s to a Droid and I do not have that phone anymore. I can not recieve texts from anyone with an iPhone and can not get in contact with my girlfriend or siblings now. I think their phones are trying to send their texts as iMessages to my phone that does not recieve iMessages. How can I just delete my Apple account and recieve texts again?

Sounds like you didn't turn of iMessage on your iPhone before making the switch. If you registered your iPhone with Apple using a support profile, try going to https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do and unregistering it. Also, try changing the password associated with the Apple ID that you were using for iMessage.

TS5185 i have turned off my Imessage but I still can't receive text from anyone using an Iphone

I switched from iPhone 4s to a galaxy note 2 but I can't receive messages from other iPhone users. . I turned off my Imessage but I still can't receive any

Hi there.
Had exactly the same issue, and i've sorted this out now. It IS Apple's responsibility to deactivate this function, and simply switching their imessage off on a handset will NOT work.
Whatever apple did, they effectively released my number (read: t-mobile's number) from their messaging / OS framework's grip.
Please read my explanation here:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/24488400#24488400
You will need to contact apple support according to my solution.
Whatever it was they did, and i can guarantee that they did SOMETHING to release my (t-mobile's) number from their ecosystem, even though they did not specify step two (whatever they did after instructing me to deactivate imessage on their handset - which i explained i had already done), it has now returned my SMS delivery and receipt status to normal, and i can send and receive to everyone and anyone in my Contact List.

How can i transfer pictures from my old iphone to my new

Are these photos you took with your old iPhone? If so, import them to your computer (as they should have been in the first place). Once on your computer, synch them to your new iPhone.

Can I restor data from an old iPhone to a new one using iCloud backup?

I’m going to buy a new iPhone, can I restore my data from the old iPhone to the new one using iCloud backup and is it safer to back it up on my PC?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I don't use iCloud back up, but I understand you can do that.
It's always better to use a mac/PC based back up, I'd only consider the iCloud back up if I didn't have a mac.
