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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Call AppleCare and ask them to deactivate iMessage. It might take awhile to become effective.

  • I upgraded from Iphone4 to Galaxy S4 and not receiving text messages from Iphones.

    I upgraded from Iphone4 to Galaxy S4 and not receiving text messages from Iphones.I went to https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do and unregistered my old iPhone to resolve the issue. It's been one day and I cannot recieve text messages from Iphones

    Verizon wiping out old phones would have nothing to do with it. The phone is no longer associated with the number, so wiping the phone would have no effect. It is your Apple ID which is the problem. You have iMessage turned on for your Apple ID. iPhones which have your Apple ID associated with your contact will send texts to your Apple ID, not your phone #. If you have another Apple device which can use iMessage, you could turn off iMessage in that device, but as long as your friends have your Apple ID associated with your contact and you have turned on iMessage in an Apple device and never turned it off before switching from an Apple device to another platform, you will have this problem.
    You can bet that Apple will not address the problem, as they don't see it as a problem if someone is using a phone other than an iPhone. Apple expects no one will ever switch away from an iPhone once one has been used. Therefore, no problem for them to address.
    The problem lies with Apple wanting their users to go through yet another proprietary interface, iMessage, which the MAJORITY of all smartphone users do not have access.

  • HT5622 I have a Galaxy s4 now and cannot receive text from some of my old iphone contacts.

    Please don't hate but i recently changed to a Galaxy S4 from my iPhone 5.  I am having a problem receiving text from some of my iphone contacts.  I have found a few suggestions online but haven't been able to fix the problem yet.  Can anyone help?

    Turn off iMessage on the old iPhone.
    Call Apple Support to have your phone number removed from association to the iMessage servers.

  • Cant receive texts from o2 (im on orange)

    hello im hoping you guys can help me out ! im on orange with iphone4 and for the past 3days i can send texts to people on the o2 network but no one from the o2 network can reply to me...ive contacted orange they say they sent me a sim update (whatever that might be) but i havent received that either...i can receive texts from every other network but just not o2! ive reset to factory settings i just really dont have a clue what else i can try any help would be fabulous!! thanks marie !

    Hi
    I'm having exactly the same problem. However I'm on O2. I recently migrated my number from vodafone to O2 and since joining the network I've been unable to receive any texts from O2 customers. All other services are normal i.e can receive and make calls with anyone, and send texts to anyone as well. The only issue is receving texts from other O2 users. They are infact unable to send me the texts. An error message comes up their phone when attempting. Very frustrating! Anyone care to shed some light on the situation?

  • Changed to samsung and cant receive messages from imessage

    Hi there i have recently changed my iphone4s to a samsung s5 and i cant get messages from anyone with an iphone. I have turned imessage off on my old device ive changed my password user name etc what else can i do?

    You can call applecare to check and make sure your number has been removed from the system. If it is removed and it has been more than 24 hours you would need to have people that you text with an iPhone go to settings>messages and make sure send as SMS is on.

  • Swithed from an iPhone to a Droid and cannot recieve texts from iPhones

    My iPhone recently stopped working and I had to switch to my old Droid. Now I cannot receive iMessages to my Droid. How can I unregister myself as an iPhone user so I can get texts on my Droid. My old iPhone will not turn on so it will have to be done online.
    Thanks,
    Alyssa

    Go to your My Support Profile within Apple and delete your old iPhone from your profile.
    I think that should do it.
    Unfortunately, you are having this problem because you forgot to turn iMessage off on your iPhone prior to the switch. Apple is still having other iPhones send texts to your number to your number which is still registered within Apple. Since Apple prefers to utilize a proprietary system such as iMessage instead of a system which is open to all other phone platforms, this problem will CONTINUE to happen.
    Had you simply turned iMessage off on your iPhone prior to making the switch, you would not have this problem.
    Let us know how it turns out.

  • Have iphone5s-unless I am in wifi, I cant receive texts from other iphone users unless their imessage is turned off. Help

    Make sure Send as SMS is on . If it is on and the error still occurs go to Send and Recieve, and make sure your phone number is the ONLY thing listed.
