Have your husband text the word "stop" to 48369. This should take his number out of the iMessage system.
Go into your settings under messaging and make sure the box to send as an SMS if iMessage is unavailable is checked.
Hopefully this will get your messages sending/receiving to each other.

Hi,
Do you mean you are not getting SMS text messages now ?
If so start here
Follow the Account management options until you are offered and email contact.
Explain the issue via email as only someone in Support can now remove your iPhone Number from iMessages if it has not "de-registered" itself correctly.

How do I turn off icloud for my music in iphone?

how do I turn off icloud for my music in iphone?

What exactly do you mean here...there's really nothing to turn on/off. Your purchased music is simply available for download, directly on your device, if not already on your device. If you don't want to download it, then don't.

No.
They can turn off iMessage and they won't send/receive them

Can I turn off iMessage for one contact?

My wife recently switched from the iPhone 4 to a Galaxy S3, and in order to be able to send her a text message, I have to turn off iMessage. Is there any way to turn it off for an individual contact instead of turning it off completely? Or can I tell my phone she no longer uses her Apple ID for imessage?

She should switch iMessage OFF on her iPhone, change her Apple ID password, delete her profile registeration.

TS5185 i have turned off imessage on my old iphone but still cant recieve text messages from other iphone users on my non-iphone device

i am having a hard time recieving text messages from iphone users on my android device even after deactivating my old iphone and imessages. i dont know what else to do, apple is no help and want to charge me for assitance?!?!?!

You can try the following on your friends phone:
1. Remove the contact card
2. Then turn off iMessage and then back on again
3. Go to Messages and compose a new message
4. Press +. This will make a list of recent contacts pop up.
5. Click on the info button number of the contact you are trying to reach.
6. Remove from Recents
7. Try to compose another message
8. If the message attempts to send as blue (imessage), press on the message.
9 Option to send as SMS will appear (as long as they have SMS turned on.
10. Repeat and rinse.
11. Messages will start changing over to all SMS as the user will show as non-imessage user.
Hope this helps

HT3529 How do i turn off iMessage for my phone number completely?

I got rid of my iPhone. I now have a Samsung Galaxy s4. All of my friends and family that had texted me using iMessgae before are now unable to text me because every time they try, it sends an iMessage. I am unable to recieve these messages from my phoe and it is really annoying. I tried turning off my phone number as a send & recieve option on all of my devices. I tried changing my password as suggested by Apple. IT STILL DOES NOT WORK. Does anybody out there have any idea on how to fix this?

It looks like if you don't have access to re phone you'll need to contact apple support. The link is in the article.

Need to turn off iMessage for an iPhone that no longer works

My daughter broke her iPhone and the motherboard is fried. We got her an Android as a temporary phone until she is due for an upgrade in a few months. The problem is that when we try to text her on the new Andriod, on our iPhones (and any other iPhone that tries to text her) it still sends as an iMessage. Therefore she cannot receive any texts from us unless we turn off our iMessage (which causes us not to be able to receive other iMessages of course!). We went to the Sprint store, and they told us that we would need to turn off the iCloud for her phone, since Apple is recognizing it as still on and associated with her number. I cannot figure out how to do that since we can't access the phone settings. She is traveling this week alone with other family and I really need to be able to text her! She is 12. I appreciate any help.
This is an iPhone 4, with Sprint. We have 3 other iPhones, an iPod 4 and an iPad 2 on the same Apple ID account. We don't use the Cloud storage but I think the iCloud on the phone was turned on for a few things like Calendar.
Thank you in advance.

She would have had to register the phone using her Apple ID/password.
Changing her Apple ID password is the only other way to fix this if you don't have access to the phone.
You can also "try" calling AppleCare.

Is there away to turn off iMessage for a certain person? Without having to disable it completely

I have a stalker I block his number from calls and texts but he can still contact me through IMessages so I had to turn off that function. But I like imessaging is there a way to just block specific people from contacting me on there or do have lose iMessage all together to avoid 1 person?!?!?

Sorry, no.

I have an Iphone4s and I turned off imessage for awhile today and when I went back later to turn it on it just says: "waiting for activation" my number doesn't show up. I don't know what to do! Help!! I tried airplane mode
