Changed from iPhone to Android, can't receive messages from other iPhones?

Hi,
I recently swapped an iPhone for an Android phone, however since then I can no longer receive messages from iPhones as they are sent as iMessages? Could anybody provide details of how to stop this?
Thanks

Went from iphone 4 to Galaxy s3.  I changed user ID and Password online // turned off all imessages and icloud on I phone // also deregistered phone on itunes on computer // Verizon stated it would take 24 hours but nothing has yet updated // I went to the site to unregistered on apple support but the phone wasn't even listed on there. Is there anything else I should do? Should I just go back to my iphone at this point.. its been over a week. please help extremely frusterated .. thank you!
Call Apple Support.  They have a procedure that can unregister your Apple ID from iMessage and the phone number, as long as you can still receive regular text messages at the phone number on a non-iPhone.

  • TS2755 I can't receive messages on my iPhone 4?? It will let me send them just not receive, and this happens on text and iMessage. Help anyone?!

    I have a iPhone 4 on contract and every now and then it will stop receiving messages when I am in the middle of a conversation. I don't use iMessage as I sometimes go over the limit of my Internet data. So I stick with SMS. And even when I do try with iMessage I still can't receive messages. I don't know if this is a on fault on the phone but it's a really bad downfall if its common on most iPhones. Don't get me wrong but I love this phone I think it's great but it's annoying when I can't receive messages. And at this moment
    In time I still can't receive them. Been happening for 12 hours now and it's never been this long usually, advice anyone?

    Hi Tnolen15,
    If you are having issues sending or receiving messages from a specific contact (in this case, your wife), you may find this portion of the following article helpful (ignore the numbering):
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.

  • CAN I RECEIVE MESSAGE FROM MY CELLULAR SERVICE PROVIDER IN MY iPAD MINI CELLULAR ?

    Hi Using iPad,
    Can I receive message from my cellular service provider in my iPad mini cellular?

    I Picked This Username wrote:
    Be aware though..
    If you send an iMessage to an iPhone that isn't using WiFi, they will be charged for receiving the message..
    The same goes with the iPad sending the message: if you are not using WiFi..
    That is incorrect. No cell carrier charges for a message sent by and received by iMessage other than any relevant data charges. The carrier doesn't even know the message is any different from an email message or any other standard Internet traffic. Only if the iPhone was not set up to iMessage and hence receives the message via SMS would there perhaps be a charge, and that will depend on the cell plan. The iPad cannot receive messages via SMS at all so there will never be a charge.
    Regards.

    Yes, I already talked about this to my carrier. Do you think it doesn't have any problem with the phone?

  • Can I receive messages from Skype when my ipad is in sleep mode and the app is closed?

    Ok, can I receive messages from Skype when my ipad and iPod touch are off, and the app is closed? Becuase my mom sent me a message and I did nott receive it. I have to have the app running or running in the background to receive messages. Is there a way to recieve messages when my ipad and ipod do NOT have the app running?

    The ipad may keep a connection alive in sleep mode.. but it should only use local connection AFAIK, and no internet content.
    I have a similar setup with iPad and although it has an IP it is not actually reachable on the network. I will track usage and see if it is actually using anything but I would doubt it.
    Now of course it may depend on what apps you have running. I really doubt the ipad will be using that much of your download unless you are watching movies on it.

  • I can only send messages to other iPhones and I am not allowed to make or receive calls

    I can only send messages to other iPhones and I am not allowed to make or receive calls at all not even iphones.

    You must have a SIM card installed ( if applicable ) and have your iPhone activated to make calls or text mobile phones.

  • How can I receive messages that I erased?

    How can I receive messages that I have erased?

    You can text with anybody using your Android phone no matter what type of phone the other person is using. The phones will be using standard SMS text messaging. You cannot use your iPad to text with Android devices, Messages on the iPad only works with other Apple iOS devices.
    If your friends are trying to message you from their iPhones to your iPad, they have to send the text to your Apple ID email address and you have to set up messages to use your Apple ID instead of the iPhone number. Your Apple ID should already be accessible in the settings since you have to set up Messages with your Apple ID in the first place.
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at>Your Apple ID email address. Select the Apple ID in there.

  • Only one person can't receive messages I send with my Macbook Pro

    For a while, I've been able to send messages to a friend of mine (who is using an iPhone) with the Messages app on my Macbook Pro, but all of a sudden she couldn't receive any messages I sent her, although I could receive messages she sent to me. We can both send and receive messages to other people we message, but for some reason she can't see what I send. Note that the Messages app says the messages have been delivered, but for some reason she isn't actually getting them. Why is this? and how can we fix the problem? Thanks.

    Hello wikiwikisu,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your friend is not receiving iMessages you send from your MacBook Pro, there are several troubleshooting steps that may help. You can find a good troubleshooting guide at this link:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
    Since your friend cannot receive iMessages from you, but receives them from other contacts, I'd suggest they try these steps on their iPhone first:
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    Back up and restore your device as new.
    All the best,
    Jeremy

    In settings for Messages, do you have "send as SMS enabled"?

    Talk to your carrier.  Sounds like something is not provisioned right on your account.
