Getting other people's messages on iMessage after losing my #? Help!

I used to have phone service through T-Mobile but I ran out of money to pay for bills, and T-Mobile canceled my account eventually. Someone else in the area got an account with them and now they have my number. However, all my friends who had me in their iPhones can still iMessage my phone... But when they try to regular text me, the messages go to the person who now has my number.
The same thing happens when their friends try to iMessage her; I get a copy of the message.
How do I fix this?

I should've listened to iinami from the start. His advice was right. After spending an hour on tech support with AT&T and having them rule  out all any network problems, the tech figured out the problem was that my husband and I share one Apple ID and that the text messages were criss crossing as a result. Also, whenever he iMessages me, it shows up on my phone as if I'm texting myself. So I created a new Apple ID for my husband and attached it only on his Messages by going to Settings, Messages, Receive At. Then select Apple ID (it should show the Apple ID that is being shared) and then Sign Out. Then go back to Sign In, but this time enter the new Apple ID and password. This seems to have solved the problem. I was able to keep our shared Apple ID for all other things such as our music and apps.

    If that's a 'soft' reset, then what's a 'hard' reset?

  • I keep getting other peoples conversations coming in on my calls ?

    I keep getting other peoples conversations coming through on my calls it just half a sentence, but can happen 5 or 6 time in a 10 min call, and a weired pulsing sound that comes from the earpiece,
    Does anybody else get this?

    Sounds like what we used to call 'crosstalk'. Other conversations bleeding into yours. Definitely contact your carrier about the problem.

    iOS 5 handles texts differently than previous versions.  Resetting the network connections helps, but that didn't seem to solve your problem, and neitherdid the simple reset. 
    Try deleting old messages from the messages app, then after clearing up a lot, just do a simple restart of your phone.  If you want to be extra sure, try resetting your network connections again.  I had this same problem.  Your last option would be a complete restore of the phone, but I don't think we'll have to go that far. 

  • How to retrieve messages on iMessage after changing apple ID?

    I had to delete the email account that was associated with my Apple ID, so I changed my Apple ID, but all my previous messages on iMessage disappeared.  Is there a way I can access these from my Apple account?  I was receiving messages on an iPad.

    If you created a new apple id then its not the same account.
    If all you did was change an email address associated with it, then thats different. You should be able to access messages as before.

  • I perform a search, get results, find the message I was after. How do I locate this message within my (relatively) complex folder and subfolder structure?

    Hi,
    I use structured subfolder system to keep my emails organized (hundreds and hundreds of folders).
    When I perform a search, get a list of results and within this list I find the email I was after, HOW do I locate the message? In other words, how can I open the folder which contains that particular email?
    Thank you in advance for your time and effort.

    Not a perfect solution but maybe a workaround.

  • When using explorer i keep getting a firefox dowload message and tab after tab opens with a conduit message?

    When NOT using Firefox but using Netscape for work, a new tab keeps opening prompting a CONDUIT dialogue. You can't close them as they keep opening.

    Conduit sounds like it could be the maker of various "community toolbars." You could check the Add/Remove Programs control panel to see whether you have any of those installed.
    You also could try some spyware scanners to see if they uncover any issues. These two tools are highly regarded (and free):

  • User getting locked while sending message sync via BPM. Please help

    Hi Experts,
       I have a sync - sync scenario where I am sending data synchronously from webservice to a sync RFC FM. I am using BPM and in BPM I have three steps
    1. Receive step - Opens Sync-Async Bridge
    2. Sync Send step
    3. Send step - Closes SYnc-Async bridge.
    This BPM solution is same as that give in the blog https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/1403 [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]
    When I test this scenario I am getting

    On double clicking my message I found that there is an error " User is locked. Please notify the person responsible".
    Why is my BPE struck in "Wait" stage and user is locked?
    What am I doing wrong? Am I missing any settings in SOAP sender communication channel?
    Please help me in resolving this problem.

    Hi,
    Few months ago we had also problems with "locked user" in XI, in our case XIAPPLUSER was sometimes (b)locked.
    Perhaps note:
    721548 Changing the passwords of the XI 3.0 service users
    will help you.
    We removed and entered the service users again, with the password in CAPITALS and language blank.
    After that our problem was solved, I hope yours too.
    Regards

  • I have a new iPod touch and cannot get my apple id verified for imessage or facetime - any help?

    I have an Apple ID and it works but I cannot use iMessage or Facetime. I enter my apple id and password and it hangs up at the verify stage. I have received the email which apple sends and it states that my apple id is verified. Any help with this?

    I had this same problem. I tried turning iPhone on & off, exiting Settings, etc. Nothing worked. I realized that the E-mail address associated with my Apple ID was not connected to the iPhone via POP or IMAP. I believe that if you want to use the iMessage feature, you have to have a live connection between that E-mail server and your iPhone. After I set up the POP link to send/receive E-mails from that account, iMessage worked. Also, during my attempts to get iMessage to work, I updated my phone to the latest iOS, and when the phone rebooted, my cell number was listed and checked in the iMessage setup, where it was not visible anytime beofre that upgrade. Hope this will help someone.

  • Can I get back an email I was composing after losing power and the computer shut down?

    While composing a long, complicated email, the warning came on that I was about to lose battery power. By the time I plugged my computer in to the electrical outlet, it had already shut down. I powered it up and checked my email drafts folder, but the email was not there. Is there any way I can get it back?

    Hi,
    Thanks. Doesn't a Mac save your draft automatically from time to time while you're typing it? On my PC I could click on "Save" occasionally and save what I was working on until that point, but on my Mac Book Pro I've never figured out how to do that. My Mac seemed to do it automatically. For example, if for some reason I stopped working on an email but came back to it later, it was in my Drafts folder. However, this time my Mac shut down while I was composing my email and now I can't find it. It's nowhere to be found?!

  • TS1389 All of the options above have failed.  I purchased 14 Jimmy Buffett "Fin City" songs and four will not play.  I get the same authorization message, but nothing works.  Please help!

    Purchased 14 Jimmy Buffett songs from "Fin City" and four will not play.  All remedies suggested on Apple Support have failed.

    If only some of the tracks from the album are throwing authorisation errors at you, that suggests that the tracks are damaged.
    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
