I purchased a Samsung GN3 after using iPhone 5.  No longer receiving text messages.

I purchased a Samsung GN3 after using iPhone 5.  No longer receiving text messages.  I was told there is something I need to do in my Apple account.  Also, is there a way to move my old iPhone texts and v-mail to new Samsung?

Hey writeallmywrongs,
If you're experiencing any of the following symptoms:
You are unable to receive SMS on your non-Apple device when sent from another person using an iPhone.
You are unable to send SMS to a non-Apple device because they are sent as an iMessage.
You'll want to follow these steps:
The cellular phone number may still be registered with iMessage. iMessage is registered with your cellular telephone number when you turn it on with your iPhone. If you want to deregister your phone number:
Tap Settings > Messages and turn iMessage off
If you still cannot deactivate iMessage after you perform the steps above, or if you no longer have access to the iPhone, please contact Apple support for assistance.

  • Ever since I enabled iMessage on my Mac Airbook, I can no longer receive text messages from the iMessage people on my iPhone, only on my iMessage now!!  How do I get the messages to reach both iMessage and iPhone??

    We are suffering very similar issues when communicating from my iphone to a friend who has both iphone and iPad enabled.
    As long as I reply to an existing text chain, then it is visible on the target iphone.  If I SMS the phone number, it gets routed to the IPAD!!   And NO, I should not have to disable imessage when I want to send an SMS!!

  • Iphone 4s wont send/receive text messages.

    my iphone 4s isnt sending/receiving text messages. when i try to open messages it just says "messages" at the top and then it is a blank page underneath. all of my previous texts were also erased. i updated to IOS 8 2 days ago but the problem just started today.

        detti,
    Text messages are a vital part of a working phone. We encourage you to reset your device. Please back everything up via iTunes or iCloud. Then go to Settings/General/Reset/Erase All Content and Settings. This will reset the phone and correct anything that maybe causing the issue.

  • HT4528 i upgraded from an iphone to a Samsung galaxy and now i am unable to receive text messages now from iphone users.the iphones think that my number is still another iphone and always sends a message as imessage.

    Upgraded from iphone to a Samsung and now i am unable to receive text messages from other iphone users unless they disable imessage .
    Being my original number was on an iphone is why this is happening .
    Please help. Almost everyone has an iphone

    You should have turned iMessage off before disabling the phone. Do you still have the phone so you can turn iMessage off? If not, you will need to go to Apple support on their website and delete the product from your profile.

  • If only using wifi, will I still receive text messages and calls from non iPhone users?

    If only using wifi (turning off Cellular Data) will I still receive text messages and calls from non iPhone users?

    If you have cell service with a text plan, yes.

  • After updating to iOS 7 I can no longer receive text messages.

    I can send text messages but I am not receiving responses even though the received confirmed they responded.  I am also not receiving text messages initiated by anyone else.  Problem did not exist prior to the update.  Contact list has not changed and all contact #s are 10 digit.  I can still view have all messages sent and received prior to the update.  Any suggestions, anyone else experiencing the same?

    I'm having the identical problem on my iPhone 4 after upgrading to IOS 7--no ability to update apps or download new apps.  Here is what Apple tech support emailed to me:
    I understand that you are unable to download or update applications after updating iOS7 on your iTunes. I know you must be eager to get this resolved and I will be happy to help you today.
    ... to help you better with this issue I would request you to please try this steps given below to resolve your issue.
    Please follow this steps:
    1) Double tap the home button
    2) Hold down on an icon
    3) Tap the red "X" on iTunes, and the App Store.
    4) Tap Settings > Store > Tap your Apple ID, and choose sign out
    5) Tap Settings
    6) Tap General
    7) Tap Reset
    8) Tap Network Settings
    Once it has been closed with multi-tasking, and you have rebooted the device in the network settings reset, please sign in, and try again. 
      Howevr, if you are facing the same issue than for this issue, you may need to call our AppleCare technical support team. A technical Advisor will be able to tell you about Apple's complimentary and fee-based support. The technical Advisor can also assist you in determining what option might be most helpful to you in this case.
    Mildly amusing that the instructions for force-closing a program are the IOS 6 instructions, which do not work on IOS 7. 
    Otherwise I'm having a little success with this.  Some apps (not all) are updating. It seems that a few more apps update each time I go through the process (close everything, sign out, and either reset or reboot, then go to the app store, sign in and try to update all).  So far it has been a very lengthy, iterative process. 

  • Contact uses a tracfone, does not receive text messages but sent messages show on iPhone 6

    As recently as 2 weeks ago, text messages where working to and from this contact. His carrier with Tracfone is AT&T.
    I've already done some troubleshooting:
    I am able to receive messages from my contact with the Tracfone, and it appears to send the message. But he never receives it.
    He is able to send/receive messages from other contacts - including contacts with plans, and contacts with straighttalk/prepaid.
    I am able to send/receive texts from other contacts - including those with plans and those with prepaid.straighttalk/prepaid.
    He is not able to receive a group message from me, although other contacts do.
    I am able to send/receive group messages from other contacts - including those with plans and those with prepaid.
    I have tried with iMessage turned on and with it turned off.
    I have tried with MMS messaging  turned on and with it turned off.
    I've verified the number is not listed as blocked.
    I've deleted and recreated the contact and verified the number is correct.
    Cellular data is enabled, as is LTE voice & Data.
    I have service, and have not received any red exclamation points indicating failed to send.
    I've already tried turning the device on and off.

    Bunifufu, we appreciate you providing us with your phone type details. That is definitely odd that this is occurring. Just in case, what type of phone does the other user own? While it is strange they aren't receiving your messages, and that your phone displays sent. (Especially if the other person uses an iPhone and iMessaging too) There may  be an issue on their end if it is indeed sending correctly on your end.  NicandroN_VZW  Follow us on Twitter @VZWSupport  If my response answered your question please click the "Correct Answer" button under my response.

  • If someone blocks me on iphone can i still receive text messages from the person that blocked me?

    Im in a group chat with 5 people (including myself) and everybodys been just saying "oh you got the job?" and i just didnt receive any messages from her saying how was it....im just a little confused...DID she block me or??

    The following from  http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2013/09/iphone-call-block-faq/  indicates there currently isn't a way:
    I get my iMessages on my Mac. Are those blocked too?
    Nope. There’s currently no way to block someone from iMessaging your Mac — the iPhone block feature seems to be tied to the physical device, not your SIM, and not your Apple ID or iCloud account. This also means that even if you’ve associated email information with a blocked contact, the iPhone won’t block their emails.

  • I have purchased my first smart phone. iphone 5. I want to use sounds sent to me in text messages as ringtones but don't know how to move them over. Any help would be appreciated.

    I have purchased my first smart phone, an iphone 5.  I would like to use some of the sounds from text messages for ringtones but don't know how to move them over.   Any help would be appericated.

    I'm sorry, had you already pointed out the rules which stated that lines from 2 separate accounts were eligible??? I don't see anywhere in the advertisement specifically stating that lines from 2 separate accounts would be eligible, so THAT is not what's advertised, either.
    As far as I know Verizon's BOGO offers have ALWAYS been for lines on the same account. Possibly someone could chime in where they have received this offer on 2 separate accounts? The ONLY exception to this was someone getting the offer with 2 eligible lines on their account, reactivating the old phone on one of the lines and then giving one of the new phones to someone on another account.
    Sorry if you think simply because someone disagrees with you, they are being condescending. That is certainly not the case. Good luck.
