I switched from an iPhone to a Droid and can't receive texts from iPhones now, help?

I switched from my iPhone 4s to a Droid and I do not have that phone anymore. I can not recieve texts from anyone with an iPhone and can not get in contact with my girlfriend or siblings now. I think their phones are trying to send their texts as iMessages to my phone that does not recieve iMessages. How can I just delete my Apple account and recieve texts again?

Sounds like you didn't turn of iMessage on your iPhone before making the switch.  If you registered your iPhone with Apple using a support profile, try going to https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do and unregistering it.  Also, try changing the password associated with the Apple ID that you were using for iMessage.

    SMS is a carrier feature. Start by contacting your carrier and making sure your account is properly configured. Even if it was before, sometimes changing phones causes glitches.

    i have a motox and my wife has a iPhone but she can't receive texts from me. What would be the problem on why is that?

    What did you used to send her an iMessage, using her phone number or e-mail address?
    Does she have in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > her phone number & e-mail address selected?

  • Have a 5S w/ Sprint, can't receive texts from verizon non-iphones!

    Ported a # as of 10/2 from Tmobile to the iphone 5s I received from Sprint.
    Since then I can't receive texts from verizon non-iphones! They
    can see my texts. Googling this, it seems like there's been issues
    like this for other people. Can anyone advise as this is very bad!

    SMS and MMS are carrier features. There is nothing you can do on your phone to fix this. It's either a problem with Sprint, Verizon, or T-Mobile. You've reported the problem to Sprint, that's all you can do. About the only other thing that could be done would be to have somone you know on Verizon who can't send messages to you open a ticket with Verizon.

  • Disable iMessage as can't receive texts from iPhone users on new Android phone

    I have done everything I can find online about this:
    Deleted/unregistered the device from my profile
    Changed my password
    Changed the number to 000000000 on my iPhone
    Switched iMessage off on my iPhone
    Deleted the device from my iCloud account.... HELP.
    When I call apple I can't speak to someone it says I need to pay £25 as I do not have cover. Really?! Is there another number I can call? Any help appreciated. Will it work eventually? I have waited a week and still can't receive text messages from my husband on his iPhone. It's driving me mad! I love my new Android phone (LG G2) but this is so frustrating.

    Hi zara343, I had a similar problem. I have a iphone and my daughter changed from iphone to android. We couldn't receive text messages to each other, she had no other problems with her other contacts, just mine. It was driving me crazy. My phone kept recognizing her android as an iphone. Yes I turned iMessage off and yes I could receive my daughters messages, but my two other daughters and a few friends had iPhones, so I didn't get their messages. My problem is now fixed, I tried to send a message to my daughter and it came up undelivered, so I pressed the red exclamation mark to the right of  the undelivered message and it gave me the option to try again, send as a text message or cancel. So I pressed send as a text message and my daughter received it, I tried again and message undelivered, so again I pressed the exclamation mark and went through the same process as before. I thought what a pain but did a third and now my iphone does not recognise her phone number as an iphone. So your husband would have to do this with his iphone and I am confident it will work, and me as an iphone user can keep iMessage switched on. Hope this helps.

  • TS5185 i have turned off my Imessage but I still can't receive text from anyone using an Iphone

    I switched from iPhone 4s to a galaxy note 2 but I can't receive messages from other iPhone users. . I turned off my Imessage but I still can't receive any

    Hi there.
    Had exactly the same issue, and i've sorted this out now. It IS Apple's responsibility to deactivate this function, and simply switching their imessage off on a handset will NOT work.
    Whatever apple did, they effectively released my number (read: t-mobile's number) from their messaging / OS framework's grip.
    Please read my explanation here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/24488400#24488400
    You will need to contact apple support according to my solution.
    Whatever it was they did, and i can guarantee that they did SOMETHING to release my (t-mobile's) number from their ecosystem, even though they did not specify step two (whatever they did after instructing me to deactivate imessage on their handset - which i explained i had already done), it has now returned my SMS delivery and receipt status to normal, and i can send and receive to everyone and anyone in my Contact List.

  • Can't received text from my old iphone

    I can't receive text messages from my old phone (now my son is using it). If I'm within WiFi range It works - only through Imessage not SMS.
    Help!
    I've tried all the fixes - it's only a problem from my old phone not other iphone users

    Did you try another USB cable?
    Is it recognized by another computer?
    Autosync can be activated in iTunes/Settings/Devices

  • LG G2 can't receive text from iPhone

    LG G2 can't receive text msg from iPhone, any ideas?

        Dualregistered,
    Yikes! I depend on text messages for my main communication. So I know how important it is to have them working. So with that being said, let's get to work. Did you just upgrade to the LG G2 from an iPhone? How long have you had this issue were you can't receive messages from iPhones? Also, are you able to send messages to these people that have iPhones and are they getting yours? Please keep me posted.

  • New phone - can't receive texts from iphones

    Hi all. I've just bought a new phone (non iphone), I've followed the instructions to turn off imessage but I still cannot receive texts from anyone with an iphone. Does anyone know of anything else I can do? Thanks in advance

  • Why i can't receive sms from my wife iPhone4 ?, why i can't receive sms from my wife iPhone4 ?

    why i can't receive sms from my wife iPhone4 ? we both have iphone 4 with different account.

    If the music on your wife's computer was purchased using a different iTunes account than the one your phone is signed into, the music won't transfer.  You can only have iTunes content from one account on the phone at a time. 
    You can set up Home Sharing where you can stream your wife's music to your phone but only when the phone is connected to your local WiFi network

  • Devour - Can't Receive Texts from other Carriers

    Lately i've been having issues with receiving texts from other Carriers. I've already reset my phone multiple times, both hard and soft. All applications were deleted, i deleted conversations, wiped all conversations, re-texted the person, and tested who gets what.
    Basically in a nutshell,
    T-Mobile, i can occasionally get texts from.
    Sprint, AT&T, Virgin, and any and all subsidiaries of forementioned carriers send replies i cannot get.
    Every carrier can receive my message. i cannot receive theirs.
    Verizon does work - for send and receive.
    voicemails do work, i can leave one, and they can call me.
    i've tested every method suggested over and over. im at the end of my rope. My job requires that my phone can receive messages from the employees and bosses, and all of them aren't Verizon-based. Somebody, please help. No, getting a new phone isn't feasible, and all my other phones are broken, except this one...and this was the first phone i actually owned three years ago.

  • Have changed from I phone too samsung galaxy 4 but cannot receive texts from people with I phones can u help please

    Hi can you tell me why I can not receive text messages from a I phone too my samsung galaxy s4 having had a I phone before

    Agreed.  Should not be an issue if they use text messages.   iMessage will NOT work to a non Apple device.
    I have the GS3 and a house full of Apple products.   I really love the phone and am hoping to get the Note 3 in a few months.
    Have you added 'SmoothSync for Cloud' to your accounts in the settings?   This allows mail, calendar and contacts to sync between your Apple and Galaxy.
    you should also add DropBox
    You might look at Swiftkey as your keyboard as it is much better than the stock keyboard.
    I also paid for Enpass, which is an encrypted password storage.   It syncs back and forth with dropbox. 

  • S4 can't receive texts from an iPhone

    I just switched from an iphone and bought the Galaxy S4 and I can't receive any text messages from anyone with an iphone.  I have turned off messaging on my ipad and iphone and I still can't receive anything.  Can someone please help me with this?

    Did you unregister your I Phone off of I tunes?  Than you'll have to wait 30 days for Apple to realize you're not an I Phone user anymore. In the mean time, tell your friends to turn off their IMessage. That's what happened to me and I unregistered my I phone. I forgot to turn off my I Message before I recycled my phone. I waited 30 days and it worked after that.

  • Switched to android and can't get texts from apple users, Switched to android and can't get texts from apple users

    switched to galaxy 3 and cant' get texts from people that used to imessage me.  I have tried everything but swtiching my phone number.

    If you no longer have access to your iPhone, you will need to contact Apple for help deactivating your phone number from their iMessage system so those with iPhones will send normal text messages to your phone number instead of iMessages.
    Reference: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5185
    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.
