Hi nathanabc,
If you are having issues deactivating iMessage, you may find the "Unlink a phone number" portion of the following article helpful:

  • HT1349 I need to turn off the "find my phone" feature on my iPhone 5.  The company I worked for took back their iPhone and now I cannot receive texts on my new LG F6 phone.  Can I do this w/o the serial number?

    I replaced my iPhone 5 with an LG F6 phone and now I cannot receive text messages from my friends with iPhones.  Can somebody please tell me where to go to turn off the "Find your phone" feature and what ever else I need to turn off to accomplish this objective?  Thank you.

    Find My iPhone has nothing to do with receiving or not receiving text messages.
    What you should have done is turn off iMessage prior to handing over the device.

  • I switchedfrom an Iphone to an android and now I cant get text messages from I phones

    I need to know why I cant receive text messages from people with I phones, I just switched from an I phone to an android.

    The reason is you need to de-register your iPhone iMessage.

  • I have deleted my sons apple id and data from his old phone by accident as i thought i was resetting it for me to use and now he has lost everything on his new phone and his id etc does not work.  Can someone please explain how i am able to retrieve

    Can someone please shed some light on this???
    I thought i was resetting my son's iphone 4 so that I could use it. But I seem to have erased his icloud/apple id and all of his data from his new phone too.  His Apple ID doesnt work and cant be accessed as it now says it is disabled.  I have tried the iforgot.apple.com website without success and have no idea how to rectify.  I have requested a password change to his email address but that is not working either.
    Please help? 

    That sounds confusing.  First off, don't be too worried. There's practically no way to actually delete an Apple ID or it's purchase history.  You should be able to get to it back somehow.  Secondly, that's likely something that you'll need to talk to a real person on the phone for since it likely requires you to explain that you need access on behalf of your son, (who probably just set some security questions or an email address that you didn't know he put in.)  Just call the appropriate AppleCare phone line (800-APL-CARE in the USA, or see the link below for other countries) and tell them you want to talk about an iCloud account security question.

  • Can no longer send/receive texts on my new phone

    New Moto e phone and service bought two days ago.  Everything was working fine.  Went into Verizon account and checked that we did not want to receive premium texts ($0 cost).  My phone will no longer send or receive any text messages.  When we go into Verizon account premium text option no longer shown so there is no way to undo this.  Help, I use texts for work!!!

    lindajj, Yikes!! I would be so lost without my text messages. I use my text for everything these days. Let's make sure that we get you up and running with no issues. Does everything else work on your cell phone (calls and data)? Are you using the text message application that came on the phone or a 3rd party application from the Play Store? Also, do you get any kind of error messages when you try to send out a text message? Please keep me posted.

  • Upgraded to  new samsung galaxy s4 from a I phone 4 and I can't receive text messages from anyone with an I phone.

    I upgraded to a new Samsung Galaxy S 4 from an IPhone 4 and I can't get text messages from anyone who has an IPhone.

    Speak with an AppleCare advisor either over the phone or by chat.
    They will remove your phone number from the iMessage system. That's it! Otherwise after 45 days your phone nymber will automatically be removed from the system. Now or later, it's your choice.

    iOS: Deactivating iMessage
    Symptoms
    If you experience any of these symptoms, you may want to deactivate iMessage:
    You can't receive SMS on your non-Apple device when another person sends them using an iPhone.
    You can't send SMS to a non-Apple device because they send as an iMessage.
    Resolution
    If you experienced the symptoms above, your cellular phone number may still be registered with iMessage. When you turn iMessage on with your iPhone, iMessage registers your cellular telephone number.
    To deregister your phone number, tap Settings > Messages and turn iMessage off.
    If you can't deactivate iMessage after you perform the steps above or you can't access the iPhone, please contact Apple Support: http://support.apple.com/kb/he57

  • TS5185 Not receiving texts to a new phone.

    This requires quite a bit of background story so please bare with me. I recently bought a new Samsung Note 3 and it has been absolutely delightful. However, I've noticed that those people who I regularily text that have an iPhone I can no longer recieve text messages from. I found several threads on the Android website that addressed this issue. However the steps listed have not as yet fixed the problem. I've noticed it is only people with an iPhone that I cannot receive a text from, these messages go to my iPad and its iMessaging system. So I turned off iMessage, my  old phone and WiFi access to my old phone. None of these things worked. Farther down the thread someone said that for some reason reseting your Apple ID password seemed to work. Now here is my question:
    1) Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
    2) My Apple ID will not allow me to reset me password or the security questions and it will not send me the email no matter how many times I try. Is there a reason for this?

    Having similar trouble. Just activated a Droid Maxx. Still getting iPhone texts only on old iPhone and iPad. Verizon told me to go to "settings" then go to "messages"and turn off "iMessage". I couldn't do it on phone. Was able to do it on iPad. But I'm still not getting texts from iPhones on my new droid

  • I had an iPhone 3G and the screen fell out. I got a new iPhone and new number. Now I cant delete pictures from the new phone beause I can't access the old account.

    I just want to get access to the old account to delete some photos. I dont remember my old number!!

    Changing devices is no reason to create a new Apple ID.
    All content purchased from iTunes is permanently linked to the Apple ID it was purchased with.
    To update apps purchased with the old ID, you MUST sign in with that Apple ID.
