HT201269 i forgot to turn off text messages, and i sold the phone

I have not received text messages from other users.    I had an IPHONE 4, and restored it, but did not turn off messages and sold the phone.   Now I am unable to get ANY text messages from people with IPHONE. 
How can this be fixed?

Call AppleCare and ask to talk to "Account security". They will fix while you're on the phone.

  • How Do I turn off Text message on my MacBook Air

    My MacBook Air, my husband's Macbook Pro, and my Iphone4 are all linked and therefore my husband sees all my text. The problem is an educator I may be discussing something confidential, therefore how do I unlink his mac from my iphone. We do share the same Apple account...

    Hi there Zorro1960,
    You should be able to prevent your messages from going to your computer, by removing your phone number from iMessages and turning off Text Message Forwarding using these instructions. They are about turning on these features but you should turn them off instead:
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
    Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • Is there a way to turn off text messaging while you listen to songs/videos?

    I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a way to temporarily turn off text messaging while you are listening to a song or video? I find it very annoying that if I let someone listen to the videos on my phone - that while they are doing that and a text comes in - it shows up right on the phone for them to read it. This did not play out too well when my girlfriend was listening to it yesterday.(keep all smart comments to a minimum please, lol). Can you turn off texting while you listen and then turn it back on when you finish? Please say yes... Thanks

    Nathan, thanks for that info....I appreciate that. That makes a lot of sense (what you said about airplane mode) and seems to be a good feature. I had been told a couple of times by airline personnel to please turn off my phone.
    This seems to be the answer I was looking for. I just hope that it will still play in my car. I was finally able to find a Belkin Cable to connect it to to hear music. I have an auxillary port for it. That is where & when the trouble lies. When I am listening to the ipod portion - watching a video - and hearing the music come from my speakers in the car. All of a sudden, a text comes through and you can read it & it asks where you want to 'view' or 'ignore'. I'm gonna test it...

  • Turning off text messaging

    How do I turn off text messaging to my Comcast phone number? The xfinity app, in Text Settings, subscriptions options, teases you to think you can do it, but all it does is confirm that text messaging is active. This looks like a bug.  I have wasted far too much time navigating the web site(s) and from my mobile devices via the app, account settings, etc, etc. Very frustrating. 

    Comcast/XFINITY,I agree.  As a customer I would like the opportunity to turn off this feature.  I don't use it and it perpetuates the notion that someone is communicating with me (passively?) when they are in fact not.  It is generally accepted and well known that mobile phones are text capable and we use them accordingly.  Text capability on a land line is not needed.  It provides yet one more communication channel that I am forced(?) to check--because Comcast is imposing their will on me.  I need fewer and more efficient communication tools. . .not more.

  • Settings button (action) is on the left had side of the Cellular Data is Turned Off notification message put up while the OK button is present on the right hand side of the notification

    The defualt notification message put up when launching iTunes on iPhone devices show that Cellular Data is Turned Off message is put up with Settings and OK button.
    This seems to be inconsistent with the default 'Cancel' and 'Action' buttons in other notification messages from Apple.
    Is it fine to consider the OK button first (left) and Settings(right) button next in the Cellular Data is Turned Off error message in the apps so that it is in line with the apple guidelines??
    Please help with this.
    Thanks you so much.

    Try the basics from the manual.  Restart, reset, restore.

  • Have option to turn off text message pop up window.

    I would like to see the IPhone enhanced to allow the option to turn the text message pop up window on or off.
    There are times when I don't want my text message to pop up for privacy reasons; such as if someone else is using my phone or I have my phone out and people sitting nearby and can read the message. Since the ring tone is so poor on the phone, when I am out I have to put my phone on the table so I can hear it ring.
    With the text message pop up window turned off, I would still like to hear the alert sound (separate feature) and have the number display by SMS box as it currently does.
    This is a very important privacy issue and I appreciate Apple's consideration on this very important enhancement. I called Apple Customer Support and they told me to post my request here for consideration.

    Tell Apple. We are iphone users like you.

  • How to fix the glitch from netflix5 and ios 7 on ipad to stream feed onto tv without turn off mirroring message, how to fix the glitch from netflix5 and ios 7 on ipad to stream feed onto tv without turn off mirroring message

    Has anyone been able to turn off mirroring successfully while streaming netflix feed through ipad to view on tv.  With the new netflix update I receive a message to turn off mirroring in control panel,  but I am not seeing a direct way to turn it off. 
    I contacted netflix and it is some bug between apple and netflix,  their solution did not work so advice was to contact apple.

  • Why can't I send a text message while talking on the phone?

    Today I was on the phone and received an important text.  I tried to answer it, but received the message that it was not delivered.  I had to end my call to send the text.  Why can't I send a text or get directions from Google Maps while I am on the call?

    Google Voice allows texting (and is useful for other things as well). If you're not in the U.S., I don't have any suggestions beyond searching the App Store for "Text" or "SMS". In the U.S., there are a number of apps that allow texting to other people who have the app (much the same way iMessage works) but there are a few that will also allow texting to other phones.
    Best of luck.
