Switched from iphone to galaxy - now not receiving texts from iphone users

Switched from iphone to galaxy for multiple reasons.  Still keeping my iPad and wanted to use my iphone for music.  Now I am not receiving texts, apparently imessages, from iphone users -  there is no notification either way that a message was not received.  So iphone users think I have received a text when I haven't.  This makes me angry with Apple as there have been medical issues in our family and I have not been receiving important communication.  I also have clients I have not received texts from.  My understanding is I will have to delete my iphone from my apple account completely, but then will not be able to use it at all for itunes or anything else. 

If you still have the iPhone, go to Settings and turn off iMessage. If you don't have the phone or if that doesn't solve the problem, contact Apple Support and request that they deactivate iMessage. https://www.apple.com/support/appleid/contact/

  • Galaxy Nexus - not receiving texts from iPhone 4s

    This morning, my girlfriend sent me a text from her iPhone 4s, synced to my computer with her Apple account, on the same contract, to my Galaxy Nexus.  I kept getting texts from her, and every text I sent appeared to have sent, but she didn't get a single one from me after her first text this morning.  The messaging web app gives me a "failed" error with a delivery status of "319066302769."  Both phones have messaged each other fine since the day we signed the contract until today, and we've both been text messaging other people perfectly fine.  My phone number has never been associated with an activated iOS device on Verizon or any other carrier.  In fact, I've never owned an activated iOS device on any smartphone plan (except in college, I had a loaner iPod touch for iOS development, registered to my school email on a different computer, a loaner Macbook Pro).  Every thing I found on Google is the opposite, Android users unable to receive texts from iOS users.  Thanks for any help in advance

        Hi xg33kx,
    That is definitely an unusual situation. I'm sure it's frustrating that it isn't working when you need it. Do either of you have trouble with texting anyone else? Try turning off Wi-Fi on both devices, and see if the problem persists or continues when using only the mobile network. Please keep us updated with this situation so we can help to resolve!

  • IPhone to Galaxy S4 not receiving text messages

    I recently switched from iPhone to Samsung Galaxy S4.  Now when I send a text message to an iPhone user, they are receiving my text messages but I can only get their responses on my iPad (iMessaging).  Anyone know how I can correct this to get their responses on my new Galaxy S4?

    i recently switched from iphone to droid maxx and i FINALLY figured it out. everyone was telling me to unregister it from icloud, itunes, apple. going to apple support was 0 help and verizon 0 help. it shouldn't have to be this way, but all i did was change the password on my apple ID and i started receiving messages again from iphone users. i hope this helps someone because everyone complaining about the issue isn't helping those who need it fixed. obviously verizon, apple and droid need to have a talk.

  • Not receiving texts from a Galaxy 4 mini on US Cellular provider network, but I get all other texts.

    I am not receiving texts from a friend who owns a Galaxy 4 mini on US Cellular provider network, but I receive all other texts from other phones and other providers. She has never owned any Apple products, including an Apple iPhone. Other people she texts with receive her texts fine.
    Any ideas what might be causing this?

  • I just got a droid MAXX and I'm not receiving texts from iPhones.

    ok so i just switched from an iphone after having 2 for 4 years and i got a motorola droid maxx 2 days ago. i am not receiving texts from iphone users and i dont know why. i gave verizon my phone and so i cant turn off imessage but i cleared the phone before i gave it to them. i have also changed my apple i.d. and i have deactivated all my products such as my mac book pro and my two previous iphones. this is exactly why i switched because apple has to be a CULT and make everything so complicated. please help me solve apples stupidity.

    That was a asinine and catty response.  I and many others have the same problem.  turning off imessage is not an effective solution.  I have turned off imessage, deactivated the phone with apple and wiped the phone clean.  the problem persists.

  • Myself and my partner had a iphones. Since the recent software update he now randomly receives texts from my contacts and also when im sending texts. Is this because we share the same apple id. This didnt happen before the software update.

    You can both share the same Apple ID for purchases but i suggest one of you use another email for the use of iMessage, Facetime etc.
    It is easy to do, the easiest way is to set up an iCloud email directly from your iPhone. Once set up one of you will use this for iCloud services but both still use the existing Apple ID to make purchases.

  • Not receiving texts from some iphone users.. anybody know whats up with that?

    Just got Samsung S4 and I'm not receiving texts from some iPhone users.
    Do i have something set up wrong?

    It appears you have moved from an iPhone to an android phone. The problem you are having is because you did not deactivate your iMessage service before leaving.
    If you still have your iPhone, you can re-activate it and then
    turn on iMessage in the settings
    uncheck your email and phone number
    turn off iMessage
    Settings>Messages
    If you don't have your phone or don't want to go thru the hassle of reactivating it, you can simply call Apple at 800-694-7466 and ask them to turn off your iMessage.

  • Recently started not receiving texts from one person - AT&T user, also HTC One

    I recently started not receiving texts from one person. He also has an HTC One (older model) but has AT&T as his provider. We were texting back and forth last Friday morning (11/8) and then he called me and ever since then I have not received a single text he has sent. He is receiving all of mine and we can receive phone calls back and forth, but his text messages are not coming through. We have both tried restarting our phones and I have also tried deleting him as a contact and recreating it however nothing works. I checked to make sure he was not blocked (which I knew wasn't the case since I could receive phone calls from him as well), and even tried turning the "block contact" on and back off. Any solutions would be greatly appreciated. Right now we are using work arounds with google-talk and facebook messenger but it's very frustrated for me to not receive any of the texts that his phone is saying I am receiving.
    It had started sporadically over the past few weeks where I would miss a text from him every once in awhile, but now I am receiving nothing. He is the only one that I am having this issue with as I have texted back and forth with multiple others the past few days with no issues.
    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Hi!  I'm also having the same problem.  I have an iphone 5 & one person (who also has an iphone 5 but has AT&T as a provider).  We had been able to send & receive phone calls & texts until mid-November.  Now, we can both give & receive phone calls from each other and she receives my texts, however, I DON"T receive hers. In fact, if I'm in a group text message with her,  I don't receive any of the texts  that include her, even though I can give/receive texts individually from the others in the group message. The other two in the group message CAN receive both her texts & mine. This is so strange - I was left out of a whole thread of text messages & none of us knew it.  They thought they were including me (nothing bounced back) & I didn't know I wasn't receiving them. Since her texting works with both of the others, I'm concluding the problem must be with my phone.  Do I have an incorrect setting?  I'm not sure what could have happened.  PLEASE help! 

  • Not receiving texts from US Cellular friends only

    I am not receiving texts from US Cellular subscribers only. I have been told by my nice customer service people at Verizon that it is probably a US Cellular issue. This just isn't sitting well with me. I do seem to be receiving texts from other carriers (Boost, Verizon, AT&T). My iphone 4S is updated as far as I can tell. I've only had a couple of weeks and I have yet to receive any of the messages US cellular people have sent (so it's not like they are delayed, etc. I just do not receive them). I am very frustrated and do not want a different phone. The reason I changed to Verizon FROM US Cellular was for the iphone 4S. Feeling very disappointed and frustrated. Love all the other features of this phone, but as a phone (which is the purpose of the thing) it has been sub standard. Anyone else having problems receiving text messages?
    I have tried : turning imessage off. rebooting phone. updating network etc (options 1 & 2). I can send messages to these same people and they receive them. They can call me, but when they send me texts they never reach me.
    HELP

    Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app.  I am certain other applications also need this information.  Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information.  Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them.

  • Not receiving texts from one number

    As of Saturday, between the time of 4:00pm and 4:30, my phone decided to not receive texts from one number, which is an AT&T number.  It was working before, and ever since then, it hasnt been able to receive texts from said number or send them to the number.  I havent been able to get texts from the number either, and we both dont know why.
    The thing is, I am getting texts perfectly fine from everyone else that I usually text.
    I cant figure out if the number is blocked, because I am not the main owner of the family plan that I am on.

    Hello haruharasanako,
    It's strange that you are having text imessaging issues with one contact. I use text messaging all the time and I am here to help!  Do you have issues sending or receiving text messages to anyone else? Can you send and receive picture messages from this contact? Are you using a 3rd party messaging app? If so, please uninstall and trying using the stock messaging app. Which device are you using? Did you make sure the account owner didn't have this number blocked? Did the contact check with AT&T to see if your number is blocked? Please answer these questions so I can resolve this issue for you.                  
    Thanks,

  • Galaxy s5 not receiving messages from iphone users

    Ok so sorry about the long question but I just bought a galaxy s5 to replace my iphone 4s and im having trouble getting messages from iphone users.  I tried turning off imessage, turned off find my iphone, resetting the device completely, and even created a new apple id but nothing has worked in the past 6 hours. The only thing I have left is to contact apple support but I really dont want to spend $20 to talk to someone if I dont have to... Any help at this point will be apprectiated.  Thanks

    At the risk of repeating some information, I'm leaving a full message here because I found many of the suggestions above to be vague and confusing. This is a step by step of the call that I just put in to Apple to fix this issue with Samsung S5 Galaxies not getting text messages from iPhones. This process should only be necessary if you no longer have possession of your iPhone; if you do, it seems from messages above you can go into your iPhone's settings and turn off iMessage yourself.
    NOTE: According to Victoria, the Apple rep who was familiar with the problem and (supposedly, within the next half hour to 24 hours) fixed the problem, iPhone users who have updated to IOS 7.1.1 --not just 7.1, but the 7.1.1 specifically -- will not have this issue, as 7.1.1 fixed the issue causing this disconnect. However, any iPhone user operating under 7.1 or previous systems will not be able to send an S5 Galaxy user a text without an elaborate and individualized process to remove the former iPhone user's iMessage link. So, here's what I did:
    1. Called Apple Support at 800-694-7466 (I could not find the section headings/descriptions mentioned by FoxFifth above on the website listed; the sections did not match anything on the page linked to that supplied url)
    2. Followed the prompts, which involved giving my phone number (the one now linked to my Galaxy S5 but formerly to my iPhone 4s) and verbally requesting a representative at the appropriate time after the appropriate prompt. NOTE: disregard the warning about a $19 one-time service charge; it will not apply once you speak to someone.
    3. Wait for a rep.
    4. When the rep answers, say, "I just upgraded from my iPhone (4, 4s, 5, etc.) to a Samsung Galaxy S5 and can no longer receive texts from other iPhone users. I found online that this is because my iMessage is still turned on and I need you to deactivate my iMessage that automatically sends other iPhone users' messages to that old phone, which I no longer have."
    5. The rep, who -- if they are anything like Victoria, who said she's done this "quite a lot today, actually" -- will recognize your issue. The rep will send you a text message to your new device, which contains an alphanumeric code that you must read back to the rep to authenticate it. At that time, the rep will put in your iMessage deactivation request; it should (here's fingers crossed) become active within 24 (some users here say 48, so be patient) hours, at which time the problem should disappear.
    I hope this is detailed enough to help everyone else out there. Based on the Apple rep's familiarity with my problem, I'm hopeful the process will work as promised. I will update when I know for sure after a day or two that it is (or isn't) working.

  • HT1349 Samsung phone is not receiving texts from iphone users

    we switched from iphone to samsung galaxy and now we are not receiving text messages from some iphone users.  I think their phones still think we are iphones, and they're trying to send us imessages.  how do we disable the imessage association with our phone numbers?

    If you still have the iPhone, use it to deactivate iMessage. Otherwise contact Apple.
