HT1688 cant receive messages to my galaxy s3 from other iphone users

How do you deactivate this imessage thing so that all iphone users can send messages to my new galaxy s3... I hate to ask them to deactivate on their end.. there has to be a better solution.  Any help?? please

Do you still have access to the iPhone or iOS device you were using with iMessage?
Settings > Messages > iMessage > Toggle Off
Hope that helps

    Reset the devices: Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

  • TS2755 Cannot receive text messages from other iPhone users.

    My iPhone cannot receive messages from other iPhone users after updating to ios7. I do not have internet access on my iPhone. Sender tell me the message has failed.

    If they are trying to send you iMessages, & you don't have any Internet access, the message will fail, as iMessage requires a data connection.

  • Iphone 5 broke switched to old iphone 4 but cant get texts from other iphone users cant do anything with iphone 5 like i said its wayy broke

    IPhone 5 broke switched to old iPhone 4 but cant receive texts from other iPhone users cant do anything with iPhone 5 screen does not work

    I'm guessing that you turned off the iPhone 5? If so, then are you using the same phone number as the 5? You need to go into Settings>Messages>make sure that iMessage is turned on and activated. Then go the Send & Receive and find out if your current number is checked.

  • My employer and I both have iPhone 5.  We both recently updated as recommended.  Now we can no longer text each other.  I can text and receive from other iPhone users.  Any ideas??

    Well, that didn't work since I am already using my appleID for both FaceTime and iMessage but i did see the option to send as SMS when iMessage not available.  so I am now able to send to him  but I don't know if he can send to me.  It's a start.  It is only with his phone.  His wife has a Galaxy and they are both on AT&T and she can send and receive.  I am on sprint.  If that info helps

  • Why can't my Iphone 4s  receive texts from other iphone users?

    I got my phone maybe 2 weeks ago and had no problem sending or receiving text messages. For the past 2 days, i have not been able to receive text messages from other iPhone users. My texts go through just fine but I never get a response back until they call and are like "well what do you think about blah blah?" But I have sent and rec'd text messages from people with other devices. What is going on?

        Oh my! Let's ensure these text messages are flying both in and out of your device. I would suggest completing the newest iOS 7.0.3 update. Once this has been completed I would suggest retesting. Settings > Software update
    You may also test with iMessage off. This will send messages to and from iPhone's as a regular text message. Settings > Messages > iMessage - Off

  • Iphone 5 won't send/receive texts/calls from other iphone users

    So I recently upgraded my android phone to an iphone 5 on saturday and when I got it, I was able to make calls and receive texts from other iphone users. And now my texts aren't sending to other iphone users/calls and I won't receive them. My friends with iphones called my phone and my phone didn't receive their call. Also when i send texts it says "not delivered". I know it's just iphone users since my family members have androids.
    I've tried resetting my phone and taking out the sim.

    Try totally shutting all of your apps, double click the home button then hold your finger on an app until you see the red minus sign then tap that on all your app, then restart your iPhone, then give it a try.  If you are still having problems you will need to check with your service provider to make sure your account is provisioned correctly. 

  • Having trouble receiving texts from other iphone users since I updated my software

    Hi there,
    I am having trouble receiving texts from other iphone users since I updated my software to IOS7. Also I am unable to get i messenger to work, it keeps saying waiting for authorization. I am wondering if anyone else is having these issues and what I can do to fix it.

  • Anyone else having trouble receiving texts from other iphone users?

    My daughter has an iphone 4S and just called from college, she can't receive texts from other iphone users anymore.  Worked fine until yesterday.  She can receive texts from me, but I have a droid.  Any idea if this is a Verizon problem or something wrong with her phone?

    She turned imessage off, then turned it back on again and now it seems to be fine.  Not sure what she did, but she says she's ok now.

  • When iMessage is off, I dont receive texts from other iPhone users.

    I do not like iMessage because it uses data so I have it off.
    BUT I do not receieve the Text messages from other iPhone users. BUT my mac does gets them.
    What I am trying to say is that Person A sends me a text to my phone number from the Text Message app, but since they have iMessage on it goes to my MAC instead of my iPhone.. I dont get it.

    Imessage doesn't use data.  I would say SMS uses more data.
    When you turn off imessage on your Mac what happens?
