How do I turn off iMessage?

How do I turn off iMessage?
I have an ex who won't leave me alone and is, for want of a better descriptor, toxic to my whole life and everything in it.
He has iMessage on his phone so I need to know how to turn it off on my end so I can block him.
I have an iPhone 5 - dunno if that helps.

He can still text you, and turning off iMessage won't stop that.
Your phone carrier can block #'s  - contact them for the procedure.

All my text to him automatically send as a imessage. Ive tried to delete his contact and then went back in and reentered it but that doesnt work.

    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.

  • How do I turn off iMessage on my iPad?

    I only want my messages to come on my phone and computer--not the iPad my kids use.  I still want the videos and apps available on the iPad, though.
    I'd really like my kids (who are staying at my parents house) not to have access to the iMessages my wife and I are sending to each other.
    The iPad seems to have lost the option to turn off iMessage.  I can either delete my entire Apple ID (and thereby disable all the apps and videos my kids use) or leave my iMessages on, and thereby have my parents and kids able to listen in to the conversation between my wife and I.
    How do I remove my iMessages from the iPad?
    Help!?

    You do not see this? Did you ever set up Messages on the iPad? Are you sure that you are not in the next Screen? Do you see a button "Messages" in the upper left corner of the screen thsat you are in? If so, tap it to move back one screen.

  • 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?
