How do I de-register my phone number from Apple servers?

I recently switched to an Android phone, specifically the Galaxy S III, and since then I can not receive messages from other iPhone users. I do not have access to my old iPhone anymore.

Hi there, I also had recently switch from an Iphone to and Android phone and had the same problem. I used the Apple Support Chat and they got my messaging working again. You have to know your Iphone number, serial number and have a working email associated with your apple account. it took less than 5 minutes for the tech to remove my number from the apple servers/iMessage. Everything is working fine now. So happy!

Turn off imessage in settings/messages, turn off Facetime in settings/facetime, delete the cloud account in settings/icloud and log out of your Apple ID in settings/itunes and app store.

Wipe my phone number from Apple imessage server

I need to wipe my phone number from the Apple iMessage server to when I receive messages from iPhone users the message isn't parsed into 5 or more separate messages. I turned off FaceTime and iMessages on my old iPhone 4

If you deactivated iMessage already successfully, then your contacts who use iPhones will need to erase any existing conversation with you and start a new one - that should fix the problem with fragmented messages.

Unlink phone number from Apple ID due to facetime

Apple ID used for many years shared by family. Bought many songs and apps to be used on wife and kids iphone ipod touches. NOW with facetime I want to be able to remove my phone number from that Apple ID and create a new one JUST FOR FACETIME. Keep the original id just for purchases; sharing apps with family. Problem is our ipads use the original id and seem to be assigned my phone number and email. I do NOT want my wife and kids getting my facetime calls and texts!! I have created the new id but cannot seem to remove my phone number from the old id. DO I need to completely reset my iphone to do this? Do I also need to reset the kids ipads?

Hi, Dranon.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are the steps for removing your phone number from your Apple ID. I also would recommend signing out completely of iMessage and FaceTime on any device that uses your Apple ID.
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.
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage

How do I remove an old phone number from my macbook imessage. My apple ID does not show the number anymore but I cannot remove it from the imessage accounts. Its driving me mad !

How can I remove an old phone number from iMessage

I have an old iphone 3GS that has been upgraded to IOS5 and I am letting my son use. He is loving the iMessage, however there is one problem - the phone number that used to be associated with that 3GS is still associated with the iMessage settings and so whenever I iMessage my wife at that phone number (or anyone else for that matter), he also gets the message.
I have added in his email in the "You can be reached for messages at:" settings option, but I cannot delete the phone number. Any idea how I can get the phone number removed from the iMessage settings? I want him to be able to send / receive iMessages via his email address - not the phone number that belongs to my wife.
I did try removing the sim from the phone, but that didn't work.
Thanks

How can I remove my old phone number from my iPhone?

I want to sell my old iPhone 5 (Sprint), and I want to get everything off of it. Obviously I'd restore it and remove everything first, but how do I get the 'My number' to change from my current phone number (which was ported to T Mobile and is with a newer phone now) to something else/removed? I remember I had the same problem a few years ago with an android phone, and I kept getting texts from my number on it (both phones at the same time), I obviously don't want something like this to happen again, especially if I sell it.
Thanks in advance

in the accounts section click on iMessages and then you should see your email address and phone number listed. Uncheck your phone number.

Possible fraudulant phone number from Apple online store.

Just wondering if anyone in the Apple community has had experience with fraudulent phone numbers from the Apple online store. The number in question is 1 800 506 3096 with a person named Michael with ext "1111015" needing to verify an iPhone purchase from placed by my father. Only thing is my father has never owned an Apple product and really doesn't even know how to order things online. My parents checked their credit statements and found no purchases so no identity was compromised.

It was a message left on my parents home phone, the man named Michael left the number and his ext in the message saying he needed to confirm details about a new iPhone purchase placed by my father.
-Update to the situation, my mother called the actual online store number the 1 800 my apple, spoke to a supervisor asking about this number that called them, the supervisor said he would call the number himself, after on hold for a minute or two he came back and said himself that the number was an actual apple online number. I seriously doubt it because I Googled the 1 800 506 3096 number and came across numerous posts saying they got a call from a Michael asking to confirm details about a purchase.

TS4268 How can I remove an imessage phone number?

How can I remove a mobile phone number from Settings>Messages>Send & Receive?

Deactivate iMessage on both devices.
Sounds like iMessage for your ID was initially activated on her device.
Then sign in with the correct ID on your device and activate iMessage, it should like to your number. If it does, repeat with her ID on her device and confirm everything is as desired.

How to remove my phone number from iMessage?

Hi. I recently gave up my iPhone to switch to a non-Apple device. While I had the iPhone, my phone number was used for iMessage.
Now when my friends using iPhone try to send me a message, it automatically select iMessage as Apple recognises my mobile number as an iMessage number even though I don't have an iPhone anymore. Is there any way to remove my phone number from Apple's iMessage database?

I have exactly the same problem. I ported my number to an Android phone, and kept my iphone to use as an Ipod touch. I have taken the sim card out, wiped the phone. put the sim card back in to restore and turned off imessage completely. Nothing works. Its like my phone number is stored on some Apple imessage server somewhere and any of my friends iphones automatically see my number as an iphone still and default to imessage. Then the messages they send are never received by anything. My only course of action is to ask them to turn their imessaging service off. It is deeply frustrating.
I also tried to check if it was registered but it apparently never was (I had bought a refurbished iphone from AT&T). If I login to my apple profile their are no products registered.
Apple needs to get this fixed pronto, because some of us are still customers even though we may have switched our phones. And I am not a very happy customer right now.
