How to stop recieving imessages

my friend has recently switched from an iphone which she had upgraded to IOS5 to an HTC . The phone number has been switched over to an new carrier and her sim card is in the new phone.
However as she is still recieving imessages from people like me who have them turned on, I didnt even realise it had sent as an imessage.I dont want to have to go into settings an turn off imessages every time just to send her an message.
How can she stop recieving these imessages?

Hi.
So your iPhone is still in use ?
Try go to "General" - "Messages". Here, remove all entered information such as number and e-mail. Afterwards, turn off iMessage on the top of the screen.
I hope this was helpful.

My iPad stopped recieving iMessages

Hi,
My iPad 2 iOS 8 will not receive iMessages. It used to get texts but then one day Messages logged out automatically. I logged back in but then none of my new messages that came through on my recently bought new macbook turned up on my iPad. But they are both joined on the same iCloud account. How do I get my iPad to receive and catch up on all of my messages?
Thanks in advance for people that contribute to this discussion.

Don't ask the same question multiple times. Go back to the thread you started earlier and read the response there. my iphone 4 stopped sending imessages and can't receive replies from other iphones

How do I stop recieving iMessages ?

So I had an iPhone .. But then I got another phone . After my contract was finished I got my # transfered to my new phone. Now I've been noticing that when I txt people from my new phone , if they have an iPhone , their response is messaged to my iPhone as a iMessage ( when connected to Wifi ) and I dont get the txt on my new phone .. Any thoughts ???

You could also go to settings / iMessage receive at and make sure you receive SMS only to the phone number

How to stop sent iMessages synching to all my devices!!!

There are some great things about iOS8 but also some really weird & annoying things...
Why is it that every time I send an iMessage it appears on every one of our iOS devices?
My wife does not need to know all of the work messages I send, likewise I do not need to know hers!
So O' wise ones... how do I turn off this overly enthusiastic iMessage 'sharing' feature and stop sent messages from spawning to all devices?

Each device can be set to get/send iMessages from any phone/email you use (in settings). So say you set each phone to only receive messages from that individual phone number and the iPad from an email. Then there would be no overlap.

How to stop getting iMessages.

My macbook is school owned by South Doyle High, and they blocked iMessage. I have recently upgraded my phone to a galaxy S4 from an iphone and now when someone else with an iphone sends me a text it sends as an imessage to my macbook. How do I change this? It's really on my nerves.

Hey alycatalways,
Thanks for the question. I understand you wish to deactivate iMessage. The following resource may help:
iOS: Deactivating iMessage
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5185
Additionally, the following article outlines how to unlink a phone number:
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
How to unlink a phone number
To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone. Sign out in the following locations:
- 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.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Iphone 4 not recieving imessages

I have the Iphone 4 (not 4s) and My iphone randomly stopped recieving Imessages. I can recieve and send regular text messages but cant recieve imessages. My imessage is turned on in my settings and I've restarted my phone multiple times. I am also up to date with my phone updates. Any thoughts?

Correct, do you have a strong cellular data connection?
I have the same issue when I'm not on wifi and if my cellular data connections is weak/low my imessage will send as a SMS.
YOu can try doing a reset, no data loss. Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
This is like rebooting a computer. Then check if you can use imessage over cellular.

Ever since I updated my iPhone 4S and my iPad 2 to IOS 6 all my iMessages are coming to both my iPhone and my IPad. How do I stop the iMessages I send and receive on my phone from receiving on my iPad as well? I have tried going into my settings and making sure I'm only set up to receive iMessages to my cell number and not my email....but that didn't fix the problem.

Here the way to do it, for both, or for only one Go into your settings, Messages and turn on iMessage. It will then send messages that are iMessages to both your iPad and iPhone. You can also turn off this feature on the iPad if you do not want to receive messages on the iPad.

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

This occurs when two people share the same apple id for imessage.
settings - message - send & receive - uncheck or remove the apple id.
do the same for start a new conversation.

How do i change imessage settings on Mac to stop RTN = Send message

how do i change imessage settings on Mac to stop RTN = Send message.
Is there sa setting so that Imessage on mac can be the same as iphone.... I need to be able to send messages as i would via iphone, with differnt data on different lines, therefore using the RTN key to go to the next line?
thanks

If you hold down option while pressing return, it should move the cursor to the next line without sending the message.
I hope this helps!

There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage. There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.
