Texting from Iphone to Galaxy

I used to be able to text someone with a Galaxy 4 from my Iphone 4s and then last week it stopped working. It shows on my phone that the text is sent but they never recieve it.  Can anyone help?

Hello Christina-
This began about ten days ago.  Prior to that we were always able to send
back and forth between each other for the last 5 months.  Prior to that the
Galaxy user did have an Iphone but he deactivated his account and
everything and we were able to communicate for five months.  I have tried
turning off Imessage as well, and the Galaxy user is still unable to
recieve my messages.
Thanks

  • 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.

  • 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/

It has also done the same to the already opened pictures I had received prior to updating my iphone. can anyone help with this ??

    Check for hardware issues
    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
    Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.

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

  • 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.

  • Transition from Iphone to Galaxy S4

    I decided to leave apple and go with galaxy.   I have been having NOTHING but issues since I got the phone last night.    I went and deregistered my Iphone,  but I'm hearing that can take up to 30 days before I start receiving texts from  Iphone users.    The problem is both of my kids have Ipods that are asoociated with my apple ID and music.  Would I have to degregister these as well or just turn I message off?    I refuse to go to all of my contacts (most Iphone users) and inconvience them  by asking them to turn off their Imessage.    Is there a better way or is APPLE basically forcing me to forever use their products?

    I've done a bit of research into this myself because I plan to go from the iPhone 4s to the Galaxy S5 when it's released and from that I've gathered so far, your Apple ID is tied to your phone number on your iPhone.  You must let Apple know that you no longer have an iPhone so your phone is no longer registered with their servers. There are a few different ways to do that, so I won't cover it here.  Additionally, if you have any other Apple devices tied to your Apple ID, you must turn iMessage OFF on those devices as well.  Finally, people with iPhones running iOS 7 need to enable the option to "send as SMS when iMessage not available" on their device.  This was enabled by default on iOS 6 and below so I'm not sure why it was changed in iOS 7.  That way, iMessage is still turned on and they can iMessage other iPhone users, but they will be able to send SMS texts as well.

  • 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

  • How to transfer my text from iphone 4s to to iphone 6

    how to transfer my text from iphone 4s to to iphone 6

    Hi,
    Did you or can you set up the new iPhone from a Backup of the Old one ?
    They would have to be at the same Level of OS
    iMessages are deleted from the iMessages servers as soon as that are accepted by the device they were sent to.
    Essentially they are duplicated if you have more than one device and each then gets it's own "Copy" as they are push to each registered device based on unique login info.
    Therefore there is is no simple "Download" old iMessages.
    SMS items are also unlikely to be kept by the servers.

  • 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.

    An iOS cannot be downgraded or uninstalled...Apple has never supported doing this and removes the older iOS version files when a new iOS is released.

  • 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?
