    Traded in my iPhone for a different brand of phone. I had no idea that I had to sign out of iMessage before doing this. Now, my old phone is gone and my new phone cannot receive texts from people who have iphones and had me as a contact before. They try to send an iMessage and I have no way to receive an iMessgae now. On some server somwhere my AppleID still tells people they should send me iMessages. What is the solution to this issue? Deleting my AppleID would work to solve this issue, but I cannot ever delete the ID? What can Apple do for this?

    If you did not erase your apps and data before getting rid of your old phone, try using Find My Phone and erasing everything remotely. See if this works.

  • HT201269 how do i unregister my iphone? I have the galaxy s4 now and cannot receive texts from iphone users.

    How do i unregister my old Iphone, i no longer have it in my possesion. I now have the galaxy s4 and cannot receive texts from iphone users

    Hello AnnH2
    If you have access you your old iPhone, just sign out of Messages. If you do not have access to it, then change your Apple ID password.
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
    Unlink a phone number
    To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone:
    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.

  • I cannot receive texts from one contact after updating to the iOS7 system - why?

    I cannot receive texts from one contact after updating to the iOS7 system - why?

    amyhs, thanks for those details. This is certainly quite odd that this has been going on so long and we definitely want to get to the bottom of this. Now, you stated that you have reached out to technical support and spoke with a tier two technical support representative. At this time, what actions or troubleshooting steps were taken? Are you aware if a ticket with our network technicians was ever created? As well, have you ever previously had an iPhone and are you aware if the users that are unable to message you are using iMessage?

  • Cannot Receive Text from One Person

    I cannot receive texts from 1 person who is also a Verizon Customer, both of us have iPhone 4S phones.  I receive his messages on my iPad, but not my iPhone.   All other texting seems to be working with other contacts.  I could receive his texts/iMessages 12 hours ago without a problem.  Any suggestions?  I have rebooted my phone.  He can receive my texts.
    Thanks.

    I'm having a similar problem. I can receive texts from this one person but he cannot receive mine. I can also not call him but he can call me. He uses A T&T but does not have this problem when texting other verizon users. I have an Iphone 4S and he has an Iphone 5. This has been happening for 3 days. I have tried resetting the networks, restarting my phone,  and checking blocked contacts. Nothing is helping with the issue.

  • I recently switched from an iPhone to an Android phone. I cannot receive text messages because Apple will not "release" my number from iMessage. I see others have had the same issue. How did you solve the problem, if you did?

  • Cannot receive text from specific person....

    I can receive texts from my husbands iPhone 4S, but he cannot receive texts from me using an iPhone 4S.... I have already done a "hard reboot" and it still doesn't work. Any suggestions to help me out?

    Are the messages green (SMS) or blue (iMessage)?  If SMS, probably a carrier problem.  If iMessage, probably an iMessage configuration problem on his account, be sure you are addressing the message to the iMessage phone number or email address configured in the settings on his device.

  • Stratosphere cannot receive texts from one person

    Suddenly this morning, my girlfriend stopped receiving texts from me. It shows sent on my end, but she does not get them. I can receive text from her just fine.
    I have no synced contacts, I have deleted our entire thread and deleted her as a contact. Tried sending to number with and without +1.
    She has an AT&T iPhone 4 if that matters.

        Thanks for posting your inquiry here, redbearder.
    We haven't heard back from you so I wanted to check into the messages.
    Do you know if anyone else is not receiving messages from you?

    Follow this article: iOS: Deactivating iMessage - Support - Apple
    If that doesn't work, contact Apple Support who can revoke the iMessage/Facetime certificate from association to your phone number.
    Also:
    1) Go to www.icloud.com and remove the device from Find My iPhone.
    2) Go to appleid.apple.com and change the primary email address of your Apple ID to something different (per Apple ID: Changing your Apple ID).
    3) Also at appleid.apple.com, change the password to your Apple ID (per Apple ID: Changing your password).
    4) Have any iPhone user attempting to send you a text message do the following:
    4a) Verify that in Settings > Messages that if iMessage is turned on to ensure that ‘Send as SMS’ is also turned on.
    4b) Delete the existing message thread, if any.
    4c) Delete your contact and readd, using only the phone number (no email).
    4d) Attempt to send a new text message to you.

  • Receive texts from some group members, not all group members

    Hello!
    I have an iPhone 5S and recently purchased an iMac. iMac is on OSX Yosemite and iPhone is on iOS 8.1.2
    Recently I have been involved in a few group SMS text chains and I am receiving texts from some of the group members but not all of them. I can receive texts individually from everyone in the group.
    I was recently playing around with iMessage on my new iMac and feel like I may have done something in the setup that caused this issue.
    Anyone know what's going on? I reset network settings on my phone and closed out iMessage on my computer (I also signed out of iMessage completely)

    If iMessage is turned off on both devices and you are still unable to receive their texts, it is a carrier issue, the carrier will need to resolve it.
    If iMessage is turned on on both devices and you are unable to receive their texts, it's an iMessage setup issue.
