How do I unlink a phone number from iMessaging?

Hi
I've just changed from an iPhone 4 to a Blackberry Z10, and no one with an iPhone can get through via text to my Blackberry. I've rung Orange - nothing they can do. I've rung GeekSquad who insure the phone, also nothing they can do. I've tried everything I can to unlink to number, but it has no effect.
I have an iPhone 5 also, on another contract and can see its trying to send the message in blue as iMessage, but doesn't then try to send it as an SMS when that fails.
My Blackberry is my business phone, and often customers text me and many have iPhones - so I'm really in trouble until I can fix this, so any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi
I've done this on both my old iPhone and my iPad, but it makes no difference other than actually whether the message is received anywhere. If I untick the old phone number, and try and text my Blackberry from my new iPhone - the message still sends as an iMessage, but is not received by the Blackberry, If I leave it ticked then I receive the iMessage on my iPad. I need to unlink the phone number completely so that Apple no longer thinks its an iPhone.
Thanks

How can i remove the phone number from the text messages that i receive in the notification center

how can i remove the phone number from the text messages that i receive in the notification center?

You choose whether to see text messages in Notification Center or not. If you elect to see them, they will display the phone number (unless they are from a contact in your contacts list).
You can choose not to see them at Settings > Notification Center > Messages.

How can I dial a phone number from an email message directly

How can I dial a phone number from an email message directly,
But even before the selection i will change or correct the number?
If I copy the number in the notebook, all spaces are filled with % signs.
When I dictate SIRI the number I get the answer: I do not know the number
If I copy the number in the phone selection (above) the number can not be edited afterwards.

You can dial a number appearing in an email by tapping on it.
But if you need to correct the number first you cannot edit a received email.
To edit the number tap on the forward symbol and when the draft comes up you should be able to correct the phone number, copy it and paste into your Phone App. Then delete the forward email without sending it.

How do I dial a phone number from Forms6i ?? OLE2,DDE??

How do I dial a phone number from Forms6i ?? OLE2,DDE??
Is it do-able??
I have a contact form that has the contacts phone number, etc... I would like to add a button to dial the number which would open the phone line (probably through my modem) and dial the number ... where I would pickup the receiver and wait for connection...
I need an example or a "How to" link or something where if I take the time I can get it working....
IF not, is there software to do it?
Thanks, Bill

Yes, great! I will check into my modem... but I remember years ago have a c program that I used to send error messages through the modem to my alpha-numeric pager. With that I started with that c program being called from REXX IBM language and it spoke modem language...
Is there another forum that would handle this type of request? what do you call telephone support? telephony? communication links? ....
Thanks for the input!

How do I remove my phone number from another iCloud account so that text messages cannot be seen on another phone?

How do I remove my phone number from another iCloud account. The issue is another phone receiving my text messages because of a shared apple ID.

You can't remove your phone number from iMessage on an iPhone. To prevent another phone from receiving your messages, use different Apple IDs for iMessage. One of you should go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID. You can still share the same ID for other services such as iTunes if you want; they don't have to be the same as your iMessage ID.

How do I change which phone number from a contact will be dialed when I push a favorite in phone?

How do I change which phone number from a contact will be dialed when I push a favorite button in phone? For example if a favorite dials a contact's office number and I want their cell to be called instead.

Thanks again Chris.
I was simply going to write that you were incorrect and there are no plus signs either, but I was certian you knew what was supposed to happen, and that I wasn't going soft either. So after staring at it for a while it just came to me: the file was full! I deleted just one favorite and both the plus and the Add to Favorites button appeared where you described.
Thanks for your help,
Larry

How can i remove my phone number from imessage and just use email address ?

Hi all
I've searched all the forums and still can't find an answer for what i need (what i think i need!)
I have an iphone without a data plan so whenever anybody who is registered with imessage sends me a message i will not
receive it until i am back on wifi.
What i want to achieve is to be able to receive sms messages from imessage users when i am not on wifi and then imessages when i am back on wifi.
My assumption is that if i can unlink my mobile number from iMessage and only have it associated with my email address that this should work, but i cannot seem to remove my phone number from imessage, in the settings > iMessage > send and receive it will allow me to un-tick the associated email addresses but my phone number is greyed out and will not allow me to untick.
On my home Mac i can go into messages app and deselect the phone number but not on the iphone.
One solution says to deregister my phone on https://supportprofile.apple.com/ which i have tried (i can't see how that would work anyhow as there is no phone number in that registration)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
thanks, Andy

Regardless if using your cell phone number or your Apple ID email address, iMessage requires an internet connection via an available wi-fi network or via your carrier's cellular network. Without a data plan and no internet access with your carrier's cellular network, an iMessage addressed to your email address can be received only when your iPhone is connected to an available wi-fi network no different when an iMessage is addressed to your cell phone number.
You cannot deselect or remove your cell phone number below you can be reached by iMessage at with iMessage on an activated iPhone. The iPhone's phone number is activated along with your Apple ID.

How do I remove a phone number from iMessage on my Mac?

I get a new iPhone tomorrow on a completely new number and I wanted to know how I can remove my current number from being used for iMessage on my mac so that when I get my new phone I can set it up

HI,
In the Finder > Go Menu > Go to Folder
Enter ~/Library/Preferences in the dialogue box that appears (you can Copy and Paste the bold text).
In the Preferences folder find the com.apple.iMessage.bag.plist and drag it to the Trash
Restart Messages.
It will list nothing in the iMessages account and you will have to Add the Apple ID.
Once you have the new iPhone set it up for the Apple ID and the Mac version will then get a pop up asking for your to Accept which will then add the iPhone Number to the Settings.
