Switched to a new phone, not getting texts because they're being sent as iMessages?

So, looking for a change, I switched from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S3. I still have my iPhone (without a carrier, I only use it for group iMessages and FaceTime and such) and I'm having a problem when texting friends where their messages are sending as iMessages to my iPhone, which is off, with WiFi turned off and iMessage turned off (I turn both WiFi and iMessage off, as well as the actual iPhone, when I'm not using it to try and avoid this issue, but it's not working so far). I wouldn't have as much of a problem with this if it was consistent, but sometimes I'll be in the middle of a conversation with a friend on my Galaxy S3 and out of nowhere they'll stop responding. I won't think anything of it until the next time I turn my iPhone on and see that they did respond, it just sent as an iMessage even though my iPhone was off and they were texting me only minutes before.
Here's an example:
Sonia: Hey Jesse do you have the group code?
Me: I thought Paul gave it to you like a week ago lemme check
Sonia: Haha he didn't! Thanks
*I saw her after this message and we talked awhile, then I texted her again afterwards*
Me: Let me know if you want any help
*No response*
I didn't think anything of it cuz my text didn't neccessarily need a response. However, I went on my iPhone the next day and saw a new message from Sonia so I opened it and saw this:
Sonia: Hey Jesse do you have the group code?
Sonia: Haha he didn't! Thanks
Sonia: Thanks Jesse
I talked to her afterwards and she said she didn't know her messages had sent as iMessages because they also sent as texts. However sometimes the messages will only send as iMessages (like the last message she sent) and I won't get them at all until I turn my iPhone on. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this? I want my number completely removed from iMessage but when trying to remove it on my iPhone it's grayed out, unlike the emails. The emails are fine because I still want to talk in group chats and FaceTime and stuff.
Thanks in advance for any help!

No certificate is involved when using iMessage. Where you get that idea I have no idea cuz all one has to do is disable / sign out of iMessage on the iPhone.

I have an Iphone 5 and I'm abroad at the moment. My iMessages keep being sent from my phone number even though I took out my SIM card. My question is, will I be charged for them because they are being sent from my phone number and not my email?

This might be a stupid question but I'm quite concerned that my phone bill will be sky high because of it.

Hi mlemonache,
Here's a blip from the IOS Message support site:
On iPhone, if iMessage is unavailable, the message may be sent as SMS or MMS, depending on content. Carrier messaging rates may apply. You can adjust this behavior in iPhone at Settings > Messages > Send As SMS. Messages sent using iMessage appear in a light blue bubble, while messages sent using SMS or MMS appear in a green bubble.
Here is a link to the site:

Hope this helps!

Friend not getting texts because she doesn't have iphone

Hi, I'm having this issue, I have a friend who does not have an iphone but my iphone keeps saying I do and whenever I try to text her its in imessage. She never gets the texts which I assume are because of this issue. I've tried deleting her contact info, I've tried a whole host of things and it is not working, can someone help?

Follow these steps:
Go to "Settings > Messages", then turn OFF iMessage at the top.
When you text her, tap on the message, and then click "Send as text message" when the pop up appears at the bottom. iMessage is only available on iPhone to iPhone messages.

I am using a mac mini (10.8.3) with Mac Mail 6.3 (1503). Whenever I try to forward an email with attachments, the attachments do not make it. They show being sent, but the attachments never are sent.

Hey Guys,
The title says it all. Whenever I receive an email with attachments, I will try to forward the email to someone with the attachments. Mac Mail shows that the attachments are attached, but the receiver says the attachments are not there. Our mail host is Rackspace. We are setup with IMAP. It should be noted that we are experiencing similar issues with OS 10.5.8 with Mac Mail 3.6 (936).
We assumed Rackspace was the problem, so we logged into their webmail portal and tested it and the attachments were received as normal, which points everything back to Mac Mail. We even had an ISP change but the problem do not change.
I have researched the problem, and there seems to be evidence of this being a known bug with Mac Mail, but I am hoping there is a workaround. The company is unwilling to move to a different mail client since they use Daylite 4, which does not support Thunderbird.

Back up all data.
1. Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Mail/Bundles
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder may open, or you may get an error message that the item can't be found. Either result is normal. If the folder does open and has contents, move the contents to the Desktop. Relaunch Mail and test. If there's no change, put the contents of the folder back and quit Mail again.
2. Repeat with this line:
/Library/Mail/Bundles
This time you may be prompted for your login password when you remove the items. Make sure they're removed from the folder and not just copied to the Desktop. If necessary, copy them first and then move the originals to the Trash.

I switched to a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and have been gettig the run around for the last FOUR weeks...the tech I spoke with only returned one of my many phone calls after our initial conversation (in which she told me she reset the computer and I should be all set in 48 hours) to say it should clear itself up, there is nothing she can do to help.

As long as iMessage is enabled and the old phone is connected to a WiFi access point, it will continue to receive iMessage texts. It won't receive non-iMessage texts nor will it receive any calls.

Turn off iMessage on the iPhone as should have been done prior to switching devices.
Settings > Messages > iMessage > OFF

Traded in my iPhone for a different brand of phone. I had no idea that I had to sign out of iMessage before doing this. Now, my old phone is gone and my new phone cannot receive texts from people who have iphones and had me as a contact before. They try to send an iMessage and I have no way to receive an iMessgae now. On some server somwhere my AppleID still tells people they should send me iMessages. What is the solution to this issue? Deleting my AppleID would work to solve this issue, but I cannot ever delete the ID? What can Apple do for this?

If you did not erase your apps and data before getting rid of your old phone, try using Find My Phone and erasing everything remotely. See if this works.

Sounds like your friend didn't disable iMessage on his/her iphone before switching. Have your friend do the following:
Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
Log in if not already logged in.
Click on "edit products"
Click on the "x" to the right of his/her old iPhone.
Click "unregister"
This should unregister it with the iMessage server, which will allow you to send texts as normal SMS.
On your iPhone make sure you have Settings>Messages>Send As SMS set to ON.

My partner used to have an iphone but changed to samsung now anytime i go to text him he is not getting my messages as its showing up as imessage can you advise me on what to do please ?

My partner used to have an iphone but changed to samsung now anytime i go to text him he is not getting my messages as its showing up as imessage can you advise me on what to do please ? i have already reset my phone but this hasnt worked

If your partner registered his iPhone under his support profile, he could try to login & remove the iPhone. This will stop your iMessage problem. Do so here: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
The other thing your partner could try is to insert his sim into an iPhone and turn off iMessage there but this maybe a little more difficult if his Samsung doesn't use a MicrSIM.

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.

Can not get Text-to-Speech to work

I can not get Text-to-Speech to work. In "Settings", I can go into "Voice input & output", then to "Voice Output; Text-to-speech settings" and then to "Install voice data; Install the voice data required for speech synthesis" but it is "grayed out". I have downloaded Pico TTS several times and I have soft-reset and hard-reset the device several times. Still no text-to-speech
Any thoughts on what I can do to get text to speech to work?

Odd.... I tried both Vlingo and Handcent and neither of those did Text to speech either. Very odd. I am using same Bluetooth headset that worked on my other HTC device.
Any other thoughts?
Did you activate InCar in Vlingo? I just checked this and it works for me. Once you activate InCar, you should hear "Vlingo InCar".
If Vlingo InCar doesn't work for you, have you considered getting another Bluetooth headset that has the ability to read texts to you, like the Blueant Q2?
