How do I Fix Other People Sending Me iMessages when I no Longer Have an iPhon

Hi,
So, I recently decided to go away from the Apple iPhone, which I enjoyed, just too costly. Though, when I left, to go to android, I kept the same sim, and transferd it over to my new phone, with no issues.
The issue is on the other end, other people's cell phones (iPhones with iMessage) think I still have a iPhone, automaticly sending an iMessage. Most people don't know how to send it, like a regular message, so I'm wondering how I can disconnect iMessage from my android phone. Or would I have to contact my carrier to repair this issue, as I believe it still recognizes my new android as an iPhone.
Thanks for your help.

    I change phones and i am not getting regular txt messages because somehow the messages are still sending through imessage which i no longer have.... I deleted my phone number from the account though as per instructiions from the phone carrier and is still not working...Any help?

    Hello jn_andrade,
    It sounds like you are no longer getting text messages becuase your Apple ID is still using your phone number for iMessage. I would use these steps to unlink your phone number from your account:
    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.
    From: iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage

  • HT201318 How to downgrade when you no longer have the Iphone

    I no longer have my Iphone and need to cancel my storage how do I do that? Which means I now longer have the serial number. Help!!

    If you're signed into your iCloud account on your computer, you can downgrade from there.  Otherwise contact the Apple online store at the number shown on the bottom of this page.  They process storage upgrade refunds and should be able to help you with this.  Also, if you ever need to find your serial number and have ever synced your phone with iTunes, you can find it by doing the following:
    Launch iTunes on your computer.
    Hold down your Control key, then on the menu bar in iTunes click iTunes>About iTunes (Mac) or Help>About iTunes(PC).
    Any previously synced devices will scroll in a pop-up window; press the space bar to stop scrolling so you can write down the serial number.

  • How do I download my music onto another computer, when I no longer have the music on another computer, ipod, or any other storage device?

    Just as it says: How can I download music again that I have already bought and downloaded once on another computer?
    I no longer have the music on another computer (I no longer have the original computer) and the only other place I put the music was my Ipod that I lost. (Im sure its somewhere in my house, but can't seem to find it)

    Whether you can re-download your past music purchases will depend upon what country that you are in. On the iTunes store home page on your computer there should be a Puchased option under Quick Links on the right-hand side of it - go into that and see if music is an option for re-downloading

  • How do I deauthorize other computers from my homeshare that I no longer have access to?

    I am trying to add a new pc to my homeshare network. When trying to do so it tells me that I already have 5 devices sharing my itunes. How do I deauthorize these other devices that I am no longer using, when I don't have access to them any longer?

    If you no longer have the computers you want to deauhtorize,
    go to "view your account info" on the itunes store,
    deauhtorize all five, and then re-authorize your Computers one at a time.

  • How to make Outlook stop asking for a password when you no longer have a valid password?

    Many people have asked how to get Outlook to stop prompting for a password, but the answers given are for people who have a valid password. My question is different. You've graduated from school or left your job. You no longer have access to an Exchange
    server. Within Outlook, you have an historical archive of your emails messages and you need to keep them. You can't send email because you no longer have access to that Exchange server, but you have a local cache of the address book in Outlook, which is valuable
    to you and you want to continue to be able to use.
    How do you keep the account in Outlook but have it stop prompting you for a password in this specific case? Remember, you never will have a valid password to this Exchange server again.

    Well you can manually recover your lost PST password with the command Pst19upg.exe -i filename.psx then press enter. After using this
    command your pst files will be free from password and you can easily again use your outlook files. You can also recover pst password with the assist of pst password recovery tool.

  • How do I severe my iPad from my iCloud when I no longer have my iPad?

    Hi! Recently my brother was in the hospital for a while. I loaned him my iPad to play games on. I ended up just telling him to keep it. I did not turn anything off on the iPad (because I wasn't yet to the point I wanted to murder the iCloud). Anyways, I remembered to change my email password, but that is it. I am now getting his photographs on my PhotoStream. I am also worried he might be able to see my iMessages and my photos. The option to have him turn off iCloud is the last case scenario. He wouldn't know how to do it, it would get awkward when I told him why I needed it turned off ect...I need to know how to turn off these features or somehow severe the iPad from the iCloud. I changed the iCloud password, thinking this would knock the iPad photo streaming off, but I got back up here today and saw another photo. I considered just deleting my iCloud, but that would mean the iPad would still be tied to my apple ID...so I am not really sure how to do this, if anyone could help, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

  • Why does it send as an imessage when my friend doesnt have an iphone anymore?

    Hello,
    So my friend used to have an iphone but then he switched to a non iphone but still uses the same number, whenever i try to send him a message it still sends as an imessage and he neevr gets it unless i keep on holding the message then send it as a text message. otherwise he will never get the message? he told me that they deactivated the number on his iphone and transferred it to his new phone. so idk why it still does that?

    Because your friend did not deactivate iMessage before getting rid of the iPhone. Your friend now has to call Apple and ask them to deactivate iMessage for the account.

  • How to turn of imessages if you no longer have an iphone

    i have a new phone but cant recieve text from iphones.. i need to turn off i messagese but i turned in the iphone so now what

    Use the iTunes command Store > Deauthorize All, and then re-authorize just the ones you are going to use.
    That command only appears if you are at the limit of 5, and you can only use it once per 12 months.

  • Error when other people send me a meeting request

    Dear Microsoft,
    When other people send me a meeting request, they get the error you can see below (it says: "Your message can not be delivered to the following
    people or distribution lists"). The strange thing is that I receive as well the meeting request and I can accept it. However, it is confusing for the people who send me the request, so can you help me to fix te problem? 
    I use Outlook 2010, but I had also this problem with an older version. I have not had this problem always. The problem started when I authorized a colleague
    to look in my calendar (but, if I cancel the authorization it doesn't help, so I really don't understand what is going wrong!).
    I really hope you know a solution of this problem.
    Kind regards,
    Dineke Wolbink

    Hi Dineke,
    You can contact your Exchange administrator to run the following command to check it:
    Get-Mailbox –Identity yourname | Select Name, HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled
    Or you can view your colleague’s Default Global Address List in OWA to check whether you are listed there or not.
    Please check whether there is any transport rule or Outlook rule setting in your mailbox. Also change a new computer and create a new Outlook profile to have a try.
