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.

  • Why doen't iphone receive texts from other iphones.

    I have recently bought iphone 5C for the first time, I have had an ipad for a long time which I use for imessages through wifi.   I thought that when I am out and about away from wifi I would receive sms/text from other iphones like I had with my previous basic mobile, but this doesn't happen, although I can send texts to other iphones.  Also when I return to a wifi area imessage that have been picked up by my ipad then don't appear on my iphone.  When both the iphone and ipad are using wifi when an imesssage is received the message appears on both devices.  Is this usual as I would like to receive texts from other iphones as it could be important. 

    Is iMessage turned on your phone?    It doesn't sound like it.
    I would disable iMessage on BOTH your iPad and iPhone.   Enable it on iPhone first, then iPad 2nd.
    Try again and let us know if it's working properly.

  • HT201269 dont have iphone anymore but it is still trying to function as iphone in text from others

    I dont have my iphone anymore, but other iphones cant send me text because it says i still have an iphone. ATT told me that i needed to get onto apple and turn everything off

    Had iMessage been turned off prior to switching devices this would not be a problem.
    Since it wasn't, follow the steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5185

  • My 2 different iphones receiving text from one common contact.

    Last night I gave my daughter her iphone 4.  I have an iphone 4S.  Today several people texted me.  One of these people texting me, their texts with me showed up on my daughters phone miles away.  Not everyone's texts, just the one person's text.  How do I resolve this issue?
    I did tell my daughter to delete the iCloud account on her phone.  She indicated her phone had my email address as her apple account on her phone.  Has having her delete that profile off of her phone take care of this issue.  The person who was texting me also has an iphone 4, not sure why the other people texting did not come through on her phone, just the one with an iphone of their own.
    Anyone have any ideas what I need to do to resolve this issue?
    Thank you,
    Andrew

    Could be that the sender sent to your email address (iMessage) instead of your phone number or vice versa.
    Make sure iMessage is set correctly on the iPhone 4 to use your daughters email address and phone number

  • HT3529 Is there a way to exit from a Group text using iphone 5?

    Is it possible to exit a group text message so you don't continue to get responses from all members when they reply?

    Sorry No.

  • My iphone can only text other iphones

    I can only text to other iphones?

    The iPhone can text other iPhones using iMessage. If you have set MMS and SMS to On, try contacting your carrier and having them make sure everything is setup correctly.

  • 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/

  • Iphone 5 broke switched to old iphone 4 but cant get texts from other iphone users cant do anything with iphone 5 like i said its wayy broke

    IPhone 5 broke switched to old iPhone 4 but cant receive texts from other iPhone users cant do anything with iPhone 5 screen does not work

    I'm guessing that you turned off the iPhone 5? If so, then are you using the same phone number as the 5? You need to go into Settings>Messages>make sure that iMessage is turned on and activated. Then go the Send & Receive and find out if your current number is checked.

  • Switched to Galaxy Note 3 now texts from Iphone users go to my Ipad

  • 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.

  • Most iPhone user's cannot receive text from me and my NEW Note 4

    I chose to try the pre-installed +Messenger app from Verizon to be used rather than the fuctional default messenger. It wasn't what I expected so I switched back to the original message app. Well, that's when the issue's began with most of my contacts who use Iphone's.
    I would send text to iPhone user's with no delivered confirmation text being returned as a notification. So I called them and they said they didn't receive a text. I realized the problem was a conflict with going back to the original messaging app/software.
    Went to the Verizon store where I purchased the phone three times! The first salesman told me to have the iPhone user's to go into their text settings and turn on "Send MMS". That didn't resolve the issue. The second salesman called tech support and fixed the problem. Although I didn't know  was done but, it was apparently a temporary fixed because it continued to happen
    The 3rd salesman had to reset to factory settings and disabled/removed the +Messenger app from Verizon.
    Still experiencing this stressful issue with my Note4.
    PLEASE HELP ME!

    Sorry to hear that! I tend to use the default Messages app more than anything else too.
    I'm curious about your issue because you said "most iPhone users..." That can make the situation a little bit tricky, but it can also be used to your advantage, because if you compare the messaging/cellular settings on one iPhone that works and one that doesn't, you will likely find your resolution. I'd suggest looking at an iPhone that doesn't receive your messages and try to make the settings match the settings of an iPhone that successfully receives your texts.
    Since it only happens with iPhone users the problem is likely not on your end; it's more than likely an issue with iMessage on the recipients' phone, but you can certainly try to deactivate your iMessage account (if you have one). Deregister and Turn Off iMessage - Apple Support. Bear in mind that this tool is usually used to solve issues that are the opposite of yours (iPhone users cannot send texts to you).

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Why am I being charged to text another iPhone user from my iPhone

    I have a pre-paid AT&T phone and am charged per text.   Normally it uses iMessage when I text other iPhone users and I am not charged.  When my friend that also has some kind of pre-paid, non-standard plan (not AT&T, t-molbie, or verizon) texts me on her iphone, I am charged for it.  Initally, I had some problems with being charged from other iphone users, but that may have been resolved when my IPad captured of the text first, before the phone did.
    anyone had any experience with fixing this?
