How to stop messages being sent via iMessage?

Hi
At the weekend my son accidentally dropped my iPhone 5 in the bath. It is totally fried, won't even power up. I'm using a Samsung that my friend has kindly lent me, but when my Mrs tries to send me a text from her iPhone it still wants to go via iMessage. I have tried disabling iMessage on my iPad, but it still persists. Nearly my whole family are using iPhones so this is a big problem. I am not able to get another iPhone until September when my contract is up.
any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Call AppleCare and ask them to deactivate iMessage for that phone number.

Iphone 4 recieves my brothers iphone 3gs messages when sent via imessage

My iphone 4 recieves my brothers iphone 3gs messages when sent via imessage. When he texts me, his name comes through as my email address. I think this could be because we both have the same itunes account. not all messages my brother sends i recieve but i would just like this sorted out. please help!

Sounds like you signed up the same account for iMessages or the same phone number was added to iMessages.
Go into SETTINGS/MESSAGES/SEND & RECEIVE
That is the list of numbers and email addresses that the phones will receive iMessages for. Remove the duplicates that you might see between the two phones. Also make sure that the Apple ID at the top is not the same.

Text messages being sent as iMessages

Hi folks, My wife and I have a strange problem with our iPhone 5's where our SMS messages occasionally get sent as iMessages and as a result we never get them on our phones.
Background - We both have iPhone 5's, I have an iPad 3, she has an iPad 4. All software is the latest updates available. We live in a rural area so wifi is only really available at home and the occasional McDonald's, so the only time iMessage is of any real use is when we are at home and want to iMessage friends. This results in both the iPhone and the iPad informing us that we have an iMessage and quickly becomes annoying during an extended conversation so we have turned off iMessage on our phones and use it exclusively on our iPads.
The problem- on a few occasions in the last 2 weeks we have replied to a SMS message sent by one of us and the SMS reply has been sent as an iMessage. As a result it was not received until we return home and view the iPad. Now I understand that iMessages are supposed to be sent as SMS if the recipient is not able to receive an iMessage but NOT the other way around. It makes even less sense when you consider we both have iMessage turned off on our phones.
Once it occurs it can be ages before the system restores itself to work correctly as well. A few days ago I had returned home to discover the message my wife had sent and was puzzled as to how it happened. I turned off the iPads and checked that iMessage was still off on both our phones (it was). Yet all efforts to send me an SMS from her phone to my phone resulted in an iMessage, not an SMS, the SMS option was not available as it continually defaulted to iMessage. How is this possible?

iMessage does not require WiFi. It requires a data connection. Between iOS devices, if you have iMessage turned on, iMessage is the default. Do you, perchance, have cellular data turned off on your phones? That's the only reason I can think of that you wouldn't get iMessages on your phone outside of a WiFi connection. And yes, both devices will notify you of messages if you have notifications turned on on both. And yes, if your contact is messaging you from an iOS device and your iPad is on at home and your cellular data is turned off on your phone, the iPad would get the message.

Sms being sent via iMessage to none iOS phone

Yep, it can handle SMS.

Why are my messages being sent through email rather than iMessage?

Why are my messages being sent as email rather than iMessage?

Not being sent as email - shown as being sent from an email address because you have selected to start new iMessage conversations from your Apple ID email address on your iPhone.
When registering an iPhone with iMessage, the phone number along with your Apple ID email address is registered with it.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Start New Conversations From - select your iPhone's phone number.

Why are my text messages being sent through my Apple ID to only one person and through my phone number to all other contact when using iMessage?

Is this one person using an iphone or ipad for imessaging?

HT3529 why do some messages in a string get sent via iMessage (blue) while others in that string are sent via SMS (green)?

why do some messages in a string get sent via iMessage (blue) while others in that string are sent via SMS (green)?

Because the other end may not be on a data network and can receive SMS only at that time. Also if imessage can't send via imessage then it will fall back to SMS if you have that turned on.

Switched to a new phone, not getting texts because they're being sent as iMessages?

So, looking for a change, I switched from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S3. I still have my iPhone (without a carrier, I only use it for group iMessages and FaceTime and such) and I'm having a problem when texting friends where their messages are sending as iMessages to my iPhone, which is off, with WiFi turned off and iMessage turned off (I turn both WiFi and iMessage off, as well as the actual iPhone, when I'm not using it to try and avoid this issue, but it's not working so far). I wouldn't have as much of a problem with this if it was consistent, but sometimes I'll be in the middle of a conversation with a friend on my Galaxy S3 and out of nowhere they'll stop responding. I won't think anything of it until the next time I turn my iPhone on and see that they did respond, it just sent as an iMessage even though my iPhone was off and they were texting me only minutes before.
Here's an example:
Sonia: Hey Jesse do you have the group code?
Me: I thought Paul gave it to you like a week ago lemme check
Sonia: Haha he didn't! Thanks
*I saw her after this message and we talked awhile, then I texted her again afterwards*
Me: Let me know if you want any help
*No response*
I didn't think anything of it cuz my text didn't neccessarily need a response. However, I went on my iPhone the next day and saw a new message from Sonia so I opened it and saw this:
Sonia: Hey Jesse do you have the group code?
Sonia: Haha he didn't! Thanks
Sonia: Thanks Jesse
I talked to her afterwards and she said she didn't know her messages had sent as iMessages because they also sent as texts. However sometimes the messages will only send as iMessages (like the last message she sent) and I won't get them at all until I turn my iPhone on. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this? I want my number completely removed from iMessage but when trying to remove it on my iPhone it's grayed out, unlike the emails. The emails are fine because I still want to talk in group chats and FaceTime and stuff.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Cal AppleCare and have them revoke the certificae is the fastest and easiest, and as far as i see, the only way to resolve this issue
No certificate is involved when using iMessage. Where you get that idea I have no idea cuz all one has to do is disable / sign out of iMessage on the iPhone.

Bpm:message being sent and wait for event

Hi,gurus:
My scenario is about BPM.In the integration process I used a loop and correlation.The scenario worked successfully yesterday,but after I changed some thing,it did not work.The outbound status of the message in sxi_monitor said "message being sent".And when I clicked PE to see the workflow log, it said " wait for event".
Thanks in advance.

Could you tell me how to reimport the integration progress in ID?
reimport means...delete the already imported BPM from ID.....this would affect the corresponding ID objects....save and activate....and then again run the import Integration Process wizard....create the objects once again.....seems time consuming.....hence mentioned it as the last option in the list:(
Also from SWWL delete only the instance with status as ERROR.

Outbound exchange mail being sent via SMTP instead of activesync

This is kind of an advanced configuration and question, I'm pretty sure this is a bug but not sure how to get it to the right audience. I have several email accounts configured on my iPhone, two of the accounts share the same email address but are on two different servers; one an Exchange and the other a POP/SMTP server. The reason for this is that my domain has two MX records, the POP/SMTP being set up with a lower priority and acts as my backup server in the event my Exchange server is unavailable. The POP/SMTP server is hosted by registrar, where I host my own Exchange server.
What I noticed is that when I have my POP/SMTP account set to active, any outbound mail I send via my Exchange account is being sent via my POP/SMTP account and NOT the activesync connector for the Exchange account. This shouldn't be happening, how do I report this to Apple?

Anyone out there have a fix for this or know if this issue even hits Apple's radar for a fix?

Texts being sent as iMessages

For some strange reason, some of my texts are being sent as iMessages. Anyone know why?

Imessages are sent to other iphone owners. Text messages are sent to non-iphone owners.

Are my group messages being sent as MMS instead of SMS?

Hi there! I just have a quick question about text messaging on my iPhone. I read here (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5760) that "some carries automatically convert group messages into MMS" and that "group messaging is sent either as an SMS or MMS"
See, I am a new postpaid subscriber. And my plan only includes unlimited text messaging (SMS) and data use. I usually send out group messages to 50+ of my colleagues when I need to remind them about something or ask a question. Are these messages being sent as an MMS, or as regular text messages? I fear I may be getting charged hefty sums for texting.
Thanks!

Why don't you check with your carrier. They would be in a position to better answer that question than a group of users from all over the world.
