I need to get help removing my cell number from Imessage.

THis is unbelievable and I am going no help.  APPLE can not keep a cell number hostage.  Nor punish me for switching to a different phone.  I love my Mac, ipad and Mac book pro. 
Your are going to make it in possible to love your company when you do things like this, someone PLEASE help me get this fixed.  My son and husband still have Iphones and I need to be able to send them messages.
Thank you, please help

  • HT204053 I don't want to receive any SMS from Apple. Could you remove my cell number from your list.

    I don't want to receive any SMS from Apple. Could you remove my cell number from your list?

    It's been suggested that somehow you may have emails being routed to your SMS, which is passing marketing emails from Apple to your text messaging. Go here:
    http://mynews.apple.com/ca/subscribe
    and unsubscribe and see if the SMS messages then stop. You can also check your Apple ID:
    https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    and make the change there if you are subscribed.

  • How can i remove my phone number from imessage and just use email address ?

    Hi all
    I've searched all the forums and still can't find an answer for what i need (what i think i need!)
    I have an iphone without a data plan so whenever anybody who is registered with imessage sends me a message i will not
    receive it until i am back on wifi.
    What i want to achieve is to be able to receive sms messages from imessage users when i am not on wifi and then imessages when i am back on wifi.
    My assumption is that if i can unlink my mobile number from iMessage and only have it associated with my email address that this should work, but i cannot seem to remove my phone number from imessage, in the settings > iMessage > send and receive it will allow me to un-tick the associated email addresses but my phone number is greyed out and will not allow me to untick.
    On my home Mac i can go into messages app and deselect the phone number but not on the iphone.
    One solution says to deregister my phone on https://supportprofile.apple.com/ which i have tried (i can't see how that would work anyhow as there is no phone number in that registration)
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
    thanks, Andy

    Regardless if using your cell phone number or your Apple ID email address, iMessage requires an internet connection via an available wi-fi network or via your carrier's cellular network. Without a data plan and no internet access with your carrier's cellular network, an iMessage addressed to your email address can be received only when your iPhone is connected to an available wi-fi network no different when an iMessage is addressed to your cell phone number.
    You cannot deselect or remove your cell phone number below you can be reached by iMessage at with iMessage on an activated iPhone. The iPhone's phone number is activated along with your Apple ID.

  • Why can't i remove my cell number from my iPads i message

    My sons ipad is receiving my text messages, how do I remove my cell number?

    Is your son using your Apple ID?  If so he will need to sign in with a different Apple ID that isn't associated with your phone number.  You can do this by settings>iTunes & App Store> click the apple ID at the top>sign out> then sign in with the new account.
     Hope I Helped!

  • How to remove my phone number from iMessage?

    Hi. I recently gave up my iPhone to switch to a non-Apple device.  While I had the iPhone, my phone number was used for iMessage.
    Now when my friends using iPhone try to send me a message, it automatically select iMessage as Apple recognises my mobile number as an iMessage number even though I don't have an iPhone anymore.  Is there any way to remove my phone number from Apple's iMessage database?

    I have exactly the same problem. I ported my number to an Android phone, and kept my iphone to use as an Ipod touch. I have taken the sim card out, wiped the phone. put the sim card back in to restore and turned off imessage completely. Nothing works. Its like my phone number is stored on some Apple imessage server somewhere and any of my friends iphones automatically see my number as an iphone still and default to imessage. Then the messages they send are never received by anything. My only course of action is to ask them to turn their imessaging service off. It is deeply frustrating.
    I also tried to check if it was registered but it apparently never was (I had bought a refurbished iphone from AT&T). If I login to my apple profile their are no products registered.
    Apple needs to get this fixed pronto, because some of us are still customers even though we may have switched our phones. And I am not a very happy customer right now.

  • How do I remove a phone number from iMessage on my Mac?

    I get a new iPhone tomorrow on a completely new number and I wanted to know how I can remove my current number from being used for iMessage on my mac so that when I get my new phone I can set it up

    HI,
    In the Finder > Go Menu > Go to Folder
    Enter ~/Library/Preferences in the dialogue box that appears (you can Copy and Paste the bold text).
    In the Preferences folder find the com.apple.iMessage.bag.plist and drag it to the Trash
    Restart Messages.
    It will list nothing in the iMessages account and you will have to Add the Apple ID.
    Once you have the new iPhone set it up for the Apple ID and the Mac version will then get a pop up asking for your to Accept which will then add the iPhone Number to the Settings.

  • Please Help - Cannot remove previous owners number from imessage/facetime.

    I have just bought a used iphone 4  after losing my last week. Was weird because I was receiving text messages which were for the previous owner when there was no sim card put in. Googled this and found out it was something to do with imessage. Anyway, new sim card came today, done a complete restore though itunes and put in new sim card, but whenever I try to set up imessage/facetime, I can add my own apple account but the previous owners number is showing and is ticked even though its grayed out. Cannot remove it at all. Have tried turning off wifi, signing in and out of imessage and facetime, and another restore but just cannot remove this previous data. Please help as am pulling my hair out now!

    Thanks so much for your suggestion, was starting to think along them line - tried the sim card in another phone, works fine but it turns out the replacement sim I received today was sent out with the wrong number. Phoned t-mobile, apparently my sim card has been sent to someone else and I have received theirs..... I have been promised a replacement sim by the morning, fingers crossed everything is resolved by then! Thanks so much for your help.

  • How do I remove my phone number from iMessage so that I could only send/receive via email?

    I Need to do this because my postpaid line has recently been disconnected and after updating to IOS8, I couldn't activate iMessage anymore. I know that everytime we active iMessage and Facetime the carrier sends an international text to Apple for activation; so I'd like to temporarily delete my mobile number (since it won't activate yet) and only send / receive via email - so I can still use iMessage.
    I Couldn't tick on the number because its greyed out.
    Hope someone can help me. Thanks.
