HELP : How to disable iMessage without iOS

Hi everyone,
I need help from you guys because I have an issue with iMessage.
I've been using this feature for a year when I recently got my iPhone 5 stolen 2 weeks ago
Since then, I'm using a non-apple device which then do not handle iMessage.
The problem here is that I do not receive messages from my contacts who use iMessage on their side.
Seems like my phone number is still linked with iMessage, but messages are kind of "lost".
I would like to deactivate iMessage from my account but I have no access to an apple device to do so.
I tried to unregister my iPhone from my support account profile but with no success.
Could you help me ?
This is pretty annoying because I can't receive most of messages...
Thanks in advance for your precious help !!
Mat

If that doesn't work, you'll have to call AppleCare to fix.

  • How to disable iMessage for a single contact?

    Hello apple communites, I have a simple and hopefully simple to answer question..
    I am curious as to how to disable iMessaging for a single contact.  My sister when she got her phone number originally had an iPhone, she has since gotten an android and kept the same phone number.  However I am running into issues with text messages to her, my phone still thinks she has an iPhone and continues to send every text as an iMessage, resulting in a failed message.  I can easily hit the "send again as a text message" option and the message/picture sends as normal.  I however find this a bit fustrating, and have tried everything I can think of to attempt to disable this.  However all the online tutorials I can find regarding disabling iMessage turns the feature off completly, I don't wish to do that. 
    I have attempted to completely delete, (including all existing all texts and call history), and then re-add the contact, but that does not work either, my iPhone still attempts to send messages to my sister as an iMessge. Any help, if any, would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Your sister needs to disable iMessage on her iPhone if the iPhone is still available if she hasn't already done so.
    If she has, does she have iMessage enabled with the same Apple ID on another iOS device or on a Mac as was used to activate iMessage on her iPhone?

    Try deleting the phone number from the persons contact and then re-entering it as a new number.
    You don't have to delete the entire contact.

  • How to disable iMessage for an old Apple ID which is only used for AppStore?

    How to disable iMessage for an old Apple ID which is only used for AppStore?
    I used my old Apple ID for iMessage and AppStore Apps. Now I'm using my iCloud Account (second Apple ID) on my Mac as iCloud and iMessage Account.
    New Apple ID - iCloud & iMessage (**** thing that I can't use my okd Apple ID for iMessage and another for iCloud) on new Mac
    Old Apple ID - AppStore, iMessage days ago
    So now how to disable the iMessage function for my old Apple ID which isn't used anymore?
    Thank you!

    Yeah the problem is that I want to be reachable by:
    *new apple id
    *mobile number
    Earlier:
    *old apple id
    *mobile number
    Problem - if I set in Settings => Messages => Receive at:
    *new apple id
    *mobile number
    Others still can see my old apple id as "iMessage" although it isn't used a iMessage anymore. So how to disbale iMessage function for that?

  • How to disable iMessage from a computer if your iPod got stolen?

    My iPod got stolen and I have things I don't want people to see on it, How can I disable iMessage from my computer?

    - If you previously turned on the FIndMyiPod feature and location service is on, and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud, sign in, and go to FindMyiPhone. If your iPod shows you can remotely wipe it. Otherwise there is nothing you can do.It the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - Did you have a screen-lock passcode ?
    - Report to police and change the passwords fro all accounts used on the iPod.
    - Apple will not help

  • How to disable iMessage for a specific contact/How to unregister iMessage from former device

    I switched from an iPhone 4 to a Galaxy S3. When my wife who still has an iPhone 4 tries to text me it still sends the message as an iMessage and I NEVER receive the text on my Galaxy S3. It still shows the little blue bubble next to my name when starting a new text thread. So I checked with about 4 other iPhone users that text me on a regular basis and I'm not receiving any of their messages either.
    If the iPhone users turn off iMessage the text comes right through. However I dont expect all the iPhone users on my contact list to turn off the iMessage feature just so they can text me.
    I no longer have my old iPhone. I traded it in at Best Buy so there's no way of going back in the phone to change any settings. The iPhone was wiped of all data and settings anyway before I traded it in.
    I took my wifes iPhone and deleted my contact. Then I added it back. Still shows my name as iMessage. I took my e-mail address out of my contact entry on her phone and it still shows my name as iMessage.
    I logged into "Apple Support - My Support Profile" to try to unregister my device as suggested in another forum but I can't get past the "enter your purchase date" page. It was a refurbished iPhone and the date I purchased the device didn't work. Theres no way I'll ever get the original purchase date since I wasn't the original buyer of that iPhone.
    Any suggestions?? This is an urgent matter as I NEED to receive text messages from my wife and other iPhone users. My wife is willing to turn off iMessage on her iPhone but I don't expect everyone else to.
    I need to find out how to unreigster my old iPhone completely from iMessage.... or find out how to disable a specific contact on my wife's iPhone from using iMessage.

    If you still have an iPhone handy and have the SIM card you used for the phone, then temporarily put your SIM into the other phone and go into Settings and turn of iMessage. If not, the only alternative that I know of is the Support profile, However, you may what to search the More Like This section on the right side of the thread to see if any of the entries there have a green checkmark meaning they are answered.

  • Help~How to disable Adobe Updater in Reader 8.*/9.*?

    Does anyone here know how to disable the Adobe Updater by registry or Group Policy?(if possible)
    I won't like to manually disable them by "Help" -> "Check for updates"
    The following registry key only works in 6.*/7.*
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\6.0\Updater]
    "bShowInstCompDialog"=dword:00000000
    "bShowNotifDialog"=dword:00000000
    "iUpdateFrequency"=dword:00000000
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\7.0\Updater]
    "bShowInstCompDialog"=dword:00000000
    "bShowNotifDialog"=dword:00000000
    "iUpdateFrequency"=dword:00000000
    Help~

    I don't know where that preference item is stored. But if it's in the registry, I would do the following if I were in your situation.
    *export the entire registry
    *set the no-update preference, according to Aaron's suggestion
    *export the entire registry again (to a different name)
    *compare the two files (e.g. with windiff); that should show you what's changed in the registry

  • Disable imessage without an iPhone

    Hey all, my iPhone recently broke and until i get a new phone i'm on my old brick nokia, however people keep sending me imessages instead of normal text, which is obviously annoying as i dont get them to my phone.. I have imessage on my macbook but i really just want to stop the option of people contacting me via iMessage at all so i don't miss messages when i'm not on my laptop.. I don't want to close my apple account as i stil use the cloud calendar and things... how can i just get rid of imessage? Found a couple of answers on here but they all explain how to do it in the settings on your iphone... which isn't an option as it's broken. I'm sure it's something simple but i'm damned if i can figure it out...
    Cheers in advance!

    Purchases can now be done from my Ipod touch without password. How do I change the settings to require password for all purchases, but allow free downloads?

    A password is required for all app purchases, free pr paod inclided updateds.  Once you enter your password, you will not have to reenter it for about 15 minutes.  You can go to Settings>General>Resetrictions and set restrictions that prevent app purchases, prevent in-app purchases, and require a password for in-app purchases.
