Switched ot andriod now cannot recieve text from iphones users what should i do

i cannot recieve test from iphone users it still tries to send as a imessage from there phone even tho i no longer have iphone

The problem may be that on the other users phones if your contact is associated with an email address that could have been used for iMessage, that that is what it's trying to send to.
If that's not the case I'm not exactly sure. They may also try erasing your contact and putting it back in their phone. That way it would be a new contact unassociated with an iPhone.
Other then that, you may cosult some Android forums...

I used to have an iphone 4 but recently switched to a galaxy but now cant recieve texts from iphone users

i recently got a galaxy but used to have an iphone 4 but now i cant receive text messages from iphone users, the messages are still coming in as imessages.

You can try resetting the password for the Apple ID you were using for iMessage by going to https://iforgot.apple.com/. If that doesn't work, you'll have to contacct Apple support for assistance.

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.

Not recieving texts from Iphone users

Just signed up with Verizon and got my new LG G2 but I'm unable to receive or send messages to IPhone users. I've already tried downloading the Verizon messages app and done a factory reset on my phone. Not sure what else to try here. I've never owned an IPhone so the deregister of Imessage does no good. Any Ideas??

Is this your first cell phone ever? If not, were you able to receive texts from iPhone users on your previous cell phone(s)?
Have you inquired with your contacts what color of bubble is around the text messages they are sending you? If it is blue, they are attempting to send it as an iMessage and think your phone is an iPhone. If it is green, they are attempting to send it as a text.
As Snn5 has stated, there is a setting in iMessages which much be turned on to send messages as SMS/MMS if iMessage is unavailable. It is possible that this is not set such that a SMS/MMS can be sent.
Do you not receive texts from ANY iPhones or do messages from some iPhones get thru?

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/

Swithed from an iPhone to a Droid and cannot recieve texts from iPhones

My iPhone recently stopped working and I had to switch to my old Droid. Now I cannot receive iMessages to my Droid. How can I unregister myself as an iPhone user so I can get texts on my Droid. My old iPhone will not turn on so it will have to be done online.
Thanks,
Alyssa

Go to your My Support Profile within Apple and delete your old iPhone from your profile.
I think that should do it.
Unfortunately, you are having this problem because you forgot to turn iMessage off on your iPhone prior to the switch. Apple is still having other iPhones send texts to your number to your number which is still registered within Apple. Since Apple prefers to utilize a proprietary system such as iMessage instead of a system which is open to all other phone platforms, this problem will CONTINUE to happen.
Had you simply turned iMessage off on your iPhone prior to making the switch, you would not have this problem.
Let us know how it turns out.

HT3529 cannot recieve messages from iphone users

I switched to an android phone and need to turn off imessage to recieve texts

I apologize about the odd style but I'm using voice rec software. I just got the Galaxy S five and I have this problem too after weeks of searching online I finally figured out the problem it is with iMessage even if you have your old phones imessage switched off. you have to get your friends to text you normally and send. If the text bubble shows up blue, press and hold choose option send as SMS or text and the bubble will change to green green means SMS blue is the iMessage so its up to the iPhone user to take literally a half of an extra step to send a text to you and if they don't do that then they're just jerks

Android users cannot receive text from iPhone users fix help

I currently switched from an iPhone to an Android phone and now all my friends who use an iPhone cannot send messages to me. I talked to a representative for Apple and they said that my friends had to delete my contact and then re make it so they could send messages to me. ıs there a quicker fix to it, I already turned off iMessage on my iPhone but it still doesn't work and does anyone know if they plan on fixing it.

Your friends have to delete any old conversations they had started with you when you had an iPhone, and the new conversations should go out normally as text message.
This assumes that you actually did disable iMessage prior to switching to Android. You can confirm by asking anyone you know with an iPhone that doesn't have you as a contact to try sending you a text.

Switched to android and not receiving txts from iPhone users

Hello,
I recently switched from an iPhone 4 to an android. I am not able to recieve texts from iPhone users who upgraded to the new IOS. I have deleted my phone number from Apple ID. I do not have my iPhone anymore. I can't ask all my clients to delete my number and add me again or anything like that. I need to do it on my end. Any suggestions?

1. Change the password of your Apple ID at appleid.apple.com
2. Go to https://supportprofile.apple.com , log in with your Apple ID, then remove the iPhone from your support profile.
3. Borrow another iOS device; log into iMessage with your Apple ID, then log out of iMessage.

TS2755 unable to recieve texts from iphones

I switched from apple to android and now I cant recieve texts from iphones. I have unregistered number from apple and have turned off imessage. How do I fix this problem?

Sorry, that should have been done before you did the switch. Found this online. Hope it helps
Unfortunately, there isn't a list of steps you can perform on your own. Instead, you need to call 1-800-MY-APPLE in order to have Apple manually de-register your phone number from the Apple servers. In order to do this, make sure you have yourApple ID on hand as well as the phone number in question.
To expedite the process of your call, be sure to ask for technical support when calling in. Then just tell them you're switching to a smartphone that isn't an iPhone and you can't receive messages so you need them to manually unregister you from the iMessage servers.

Can't recieve texts from iphones after resetting iphone 4

I had to reset my iphone 4 (ios 6) over the weekend. Now my phone won't recieve texts from iphones. It does recieve them from other devices. I think it may be an imessage problem since I can't reset that as I'm unable to recieve the necessary text! Any ideas?

i had the same issue. what worked for me, and hopefully for you, is that my iphone friends still had my number listed in their contacts as an iphone. Once they changed it to just mobile i started getting their messages. They also went into their messaging settings and checked the box that says to send a SMS message when imessage is unavailable. i'm not sure if this is a universal setting or if it can be changed per contact. i'm not sure which of the above did the trick, maybe the both in tandem, but i haven't had a problem since. unfortunately, you won't know if there's a problem until you get an angry call from an iphone user whose texts you are "ignoring." i hope this helps

Switching from iPhone - No texts from iphone users

Hey there,
My girlfriend has transitioned from the iphone to the Android S4. Here is what i've done so far:
unchecked her number under imessages on her iphone
turned off imessages on her iphone
unchecked her number under imessages on her ipad
turned off imessages on her ipad
logged into her itunes account, went to manage devices, and removed both her ipad and iphone from her itunes account.
She is still not receiving texts from iphone users, and when they text her it still tries to send as an imessage, and she will not receive it until they resend as a text message. What in the world gives? This is the most frustrating thing about transitioning away from apple. Any help would be fantastic.
Thanks

i've also removed the deactivated sim card from her iphone, and turned both the iphone and ipad off of wi-fi.

I can't receive text msgs from Iphone users-what gives?

Hi, I have had this issue for weeks. I have been trying to find a solution through t-mobile but so far I still can't receive text messages from Iphone users. It is across the board. I know about 5 people with Iphones and I can't get text messages from any of them. Does anyone know why? By the way, they all can receive my text msgs, no problem, but I can't receive theirs. Is it because I don't have internet service on my blackberry? But my friend who has an old Nokia phone with no internet capability receives texts from Iphone users, no problem?? Please help.
Thanks!

Sounds like you are on the right track. But dealing with carriers is, well, frustrating at best. And inconsistent. If you get a CSR that says they can do nothing. Hang up and call back...until you get someone who can really help.
And maybe try different paths into support -- for instance, on the BIS login page for VZW, there is a number listed there that is different than any other of their support numbers. I had a problem with BIS once, called there and they got it fixed within 5 minutes. My account rep and other CSR's had been telling me that there was nothing they could do. So persistence wins out.
Best.

Not receiving texts from iPhone users

I recently got a new Samsung Galaxy S4. I registered this phone to a new number.... I did not port an existing number to the phone. Since getting the phone, I have had trouble receiving texts from iphone users - their messages will not come through on my phone unless their imessage is turned off. As you can imagine, this is quite a hassle - having to explain this problem every time I give someone my number, and several people having to change their settings every time they text me.
I've done research on this problem, and it seems that this happens when you port a number from an iphone to an android. The problem is fixed when you update your apple id account, and delete the number from the imessage service. I am concerned that my current number used to be registered to an iphone - and that the number is possibly still associated with an imessage account. I have no way of changing this, so I'm stuck.
I understand that this may be a problem that only Apple can fix, but any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Hello annaesharon, I know that receiving all of your text messages are important, indeed! Sorry to learn that you've been missing many of yours due to this. Thanks for reaching out to us - it's my pleasure to help.
The good news is that you are absolutely on the right track. The best way to take care of this is to ensure the phone number is un registered with Apple/iMessage. You mentioned that this is a brand new phone number for you, so we would also like the opportunity to check a few things on your line as well. Do you receive any type of alert or error message when the iPhone text try to come through? Which application are you using, primarily, to send/receive text messages. Let us know! We want to help get to the bottom of this for you.
