Switched to Android but iPhone text messages are not received

PLEASE HELP! I sold my 3GS on 3 network and switched to a Galaxy S3 on Orange. I have ported my number across. Before I sold my iphone I did a factory restore. My problem is that when iphone users send me a text message, I do not receive it. Their phones still think I am on iMessage. I need to know how to disable my iMessage account even though I have no access to an iphone. I have removed the device from my apple support profile and also from icloud.com. I have absolutely no idea how to solve this and I'm pretty disappointed with Apple that by doing a factory reset, didn't remove my number from the imessage account. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Gareth

you don't.  you tell her to turn off iMessage on her old iPhone

  • Since upgrading to iOS7 some text messages are not being sent, iMessage on my Ipad and MacBook doesn't have my phone number registered and my reminder colour on my Iphone keeps changing ... among other things

    Since upgrading to iOS7 some text messages are not being sent on my iPhone 5, iMessage on my Ipads and MacBook doesn't have my phone number registered and my reminder colour on my Iphone keeps changing ... among other things. Any suggestions to fix these faults?

    Make sure People Sending you via iMessage are sending their messages on your PHONE number not on your EMAIL addresses . My sister had the same problem, thats how i managed to solve it!

  • My text messages are not being delivered

    MY text messages are not being delivered. Keep coming back with the red saying "Not Delivered". Anyone know why this all of a sudden started happening and how to fix it?

    Thank You Meg St._Clair contacted my carrier and fixed the problem on my iPhone 6 but still an issue on my iPad mini  
    Carrier could not fix the problem so said I would have to plug my iPad into my Mac and back it up and then restore factory settings        
    Havent done any of that yet!

  • My text messages are not getting received?

    I have had this problem with 2 different people that they are not receiving my text messages they appear to be going thru not saying it's a send fail???

    As with email, after an SMS/MMS is successfully sent, what happens to the message after that has nothing to do with the cell phone that sent the message.
    Ask the recipients to contact their carrier and you do the same.

  • Some incoming messages are not received in outlook

    Using Iphone 4.
    Most of the time I receive messages from a POP account on the IPhone and on my Outlook2010 client. Once in a while I receive one or more on the IPhone and they never show up in Outlook.
    This is DNSExist Squirrel mail server. The messages are not removed from the server account after they are received by the iPhone. Outlook is setup to remove the messages 1 day after they are received and appears to be doing so.
    These messages come from different senders.
    The Settings.Mail.Account.Advanced.DeleteFromServer setting is set to "Never".
    Some of the messages appear to be flagged as received by IPhone in a way that make Outlook treat them like they have already been received.
    I will post on DNSExist also

    I believe that the messages sill show up eventually.
    While I've no experience using Outlook with POP3, I have experience with Outlook 2011 on Mac and 2010 on Windows with Microsoft Exchange. Both OS X and Windows Outlook appear to have a bug whereby they defer display of new messages for a seemingly random amount of time (even if you tell it to "Send/Receive Messages" by clicking on the item in the ribbon or from the menu). The messages are on the server, and, if you monitor the messages in the activity bar at the bottom of the Outlook window, it seems to see the messages and transfer them, but they simply don't show up in the application.
    Some messages appear immediately, others don't. We've not been able to determine precisely what differentiates those that do and those that don't. Some messages don't appear in Outlook for hours after they post on the server.
    This is widely observed throughout the company, and home users report similar behavior (again, I can't tell if they are using POP3 or not).
    We've reported the bug to Microsoft.
    Your iPhone is doing the right thing. I know of no current fix or work-around for the bug in Microsoft Outlook.

  • Instant messages are not received

    Instant messages can't be received to contacts that are online. The status for these contacts is changing until the message is not received (offline-online although the contact is always online). When the contact writes your smth, the message is delivered. It happens on the latest skype version and on the beta version too. I also tried to remove the skype and clean up the register and install the beta version only after that.

    Lync is aware of active conversations. This is how it works:
    You are signed in to three different endpoints (let's say A,B & C)
    someone sends you an IM, you'll get a notification on each endpoint
    You decide to answer on endpoint B
    Each consecutive IM between those 2 endpoints will only be send to endpoint B.
    Only when someone in the conversation closes the IM (or it timed out) and the other party sends a new IM, a new popup toast is shown on all devices.
    In point 4 it's very normal that Lync only sends to endpoint B since it know's you're active there. I would consider it annoying if a conversation I already had is also opened on a different endpoint. You would close it anyway....  If you want to continue
    the conversation, you go to Outlook conversation history (in your Exchange mailbox) and continue the conversation from there so the other party gets contextual information.
    Once the conversation is closed or timed out (point 5), Lync is not sure on which device you are so it send a new toast to every signed in endpoint. It could be that you changed PC or switched to mobile in between.
    That's how it works and this behavior cannot be changed. I actually think it works fantastic.

    If you think my post is the answer to your question, please mark it as answer so future visitors can easily find it.
    My Lync 2013 deployment doesn't work like that. If I'm signed in on three devices (my work PC, my phone, and my home PC), I never know which of the 3 a new IM will come in on. It seems to randomly choose it. 

  • Not receiving texts from iPhone contacts when I'm not connected to wifi or cell data. I can't send and receive regular SMS texts with non iMessage users but iMessage users message are not being converted to text when I don't have internet connect

    I can send and receive to any non iPhone user. I can send a message as a text to an iPhone user but if I'm not connected to cellular data or wifi I do not receive messages from iPhone contacts. From what I understand these message should automatically send to me as texts instead of iMessages but since the update it's not functioning properly. Please help. I've tried turning iMessage off and I still don't receive the messages until after I reconnect to wifi.

    I have the same problem! Before the upgrade, if I wasn't connected to the internet, any messages sent to me from an iphone would convert automatically to a text message. I have payg tarriff, so I turn cell data off, as it costs too much to use it. I have wifi at home and work, but if I'm out and about, I don't receive texts from iphone users until I'm on wifi. I get them ok from non iphone users. There was never any problem until ios7

  • Text messages are not going to my non apple phone after switch

    I Recently upgraded from an iphone4, to an android device. I do not have the iPhone anymore. Now I am unable to receive text messages from my friends and family with iPhones. How do I get my number out of the apple sever so that I can get my texts!?

  • Why does my signal drops and takes a long time to search and connect when I turn on or off my cellular data? And normal text messages are not getting delivered properly. It shows sent but later it will show try again, Is it just me?

    I do not know what the problem is, but after the latest update it is really hard to send text messages. It is taking alot of time to send the messages, it is not the problem with the carrier because sending text messages with the same number in the same area is really easy on my normal nokia 1100. Please suggest me what I should check. Second problem I am facing is the carrier signal drops to nothing when I turn on the cellular data. It has to then search for the network and connect again the same happens when I turn the data off again. Please tell a solution. I do not think it is the problem with the hardware because the phone is hardly 2weeks old and everything was working properly with ios 6. It initaly had problem with the battery on updating to ios7 but that was rectified with the new update but again these are the new issues am facing.

    This may sound stupid, but I'm gonna throw it out there anyway. Is it possible, that if I have enough junk on my desktop it might disrupt the signal? It seems odd, but it kind of looks like my signal is strong and relatively steady now that I've cleaned my desktop. I do tend to get very cluttered. I use a lot of reference images and save text clippings to use later... it just piles up very quickly.
    So, I wonder if all that extra effort my system has to do keeping up with the junk might have something to do with the drop outs?

  • "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped" error keeps popping up and text messages are not being received on Droid Maxx I got less than 2 weeks ago.

    I upgraded to a Droid Maxx about 2 weeks ago and all seemed well. Last Friday, I started receiving an "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped" error message randomly--sometimes when I was writing a text, sometimes when I would open other apps, there was no rhyme or reason to when it would occur. Now it also appears that I am not receiving some of my texts. I called Verizon Support who told me that they are experiencing this problem on several devices and that she was going to forward me to someone for help. 20 minutes later, no one had picked up and I had to leave. So I thought I would try here to see if Verizon has come up with a fix for this, if I should get another phone, or if they are working on a software update or something. Help, I really liked this phone until now!

    Hello,
    I am using the messaging app that was preloaded with the phone, the green face icon. I do not have an "Android Keyboard" app, but I have cleared the cache on the "Messaging" app, several times. I have also gone to the Verizon store where an associate did a soft reboot, telling me that would work. A very short time later, the error message started appearing again--so this did not work either.
    The error message comes very sporadically. Sometimes several in a few minutes, other times not for hours.
