If I turn off iMessages on my iphone 5 and only use SMS, I am hoping this will this stop ALL my messages going to partners ipad? I only want 2 use SMS and not have any of my messages go to partners ipad so dont want to alter ipad settings.

My situtation is this, my soon to be ex previously set up an ipad with both our numbers and we share a linked itunes/icloud account so if my phone is off he gets all my messages via his ipad that I DO NOT have access to his ipad at ALL. I can't set up my own itunes account (not yet until I leave him) otherwise he will know I am leaving him and it will cause major problems. So I was hoping that if I turn off iMessages on my iphone 5 and just talk to my family via SMS and NOT touch his precious ipad mini, that he wont be able to get my messages anymore and if I turn off iCloud storage and back up as well on my iphone only. Is this correct? Its just a temporary solution I am hoping. I have searched for days and hours and I just cant find this answer anywhere....
Do I HAVE to turn off my phone number off or delete it on his ipad? I am really hoping I can just do this at my own end and not touch his ipad in anyway or have to change my itunes id YET. Once I leave him shortly, I will create a whole new ID etc. I just wanna know if I can do this myself on my iphone only. Please any experienced help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so very much.

Its just a temp thing and I just want to take action myself on my own phone and want to know if this will work. Does anyone know?
SMS messages will not go to the iPad Mini. It's not capable of receving them. If you have access and can do it without it causing a problem, remove your iPhone from the Apple ID Support profile:
Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do

If anyone in your family uses iMessage, they will go to both you and your boyfriend unless you do that.
To be completely safe, you may want to simply use an alternate message app such as Skype, Viber, Whatsapp (assuming everyone has a smartphone) until the issue is resolved. Google Voice will also allow you to send and receive texts to another number on your phone.
Best of luck.

If I turned off iMessage on my iPhone would I still receive iMessages to my phone number on my iPad?

I turned off iMessage on my iPhone - my iPad is currently off. If someone texted me to my number where iMessages were appearing on both my iPhone and iPad will they still appear on my iPad when I turn it on?

You should, but only from other iOS device users. The iPad doesn't do SMS .

Call Apple and have them revoke the certificate, easiest way and fastest to make sure it goes through.

Need to turn off iMessage for an iPhone that no longer works

My daughter broke her iPhone and the motherboard is fried. We got her an Android as a temporary phone until she is due for an upgrade in a few months. The problem is that when we try to text her on the new Andriod, on our iPhones (and any other iPhone that tries to text her) it still sends as an iMessage. Therefore she cannot receive any texts from us unless we turn off our iMessage (which causes us not to be able to receive other iMessages of course!). We went to the Sprint store, and they told us that we would need to turn off the iCloud for her phone, since Apple is recognizing it as still on and associated with her number. I cannot figure out how to do that since we can't access the phone settings. She is traveling this week alone with other family and I really need to be able to text her! She is 12. I appreciate any help.
This is an iPhone 4, with Sprint. We have 3 other iPhones, an iPod 4 and an iPad 2 on the same Apple ID account. We don't use the Cloud storage but I think the iCloud on the phone was turned on for a few things like Calendar.
Thank you in advance.

She would have had to register the phone using her Apple ID/password.
Changing her Apple ID password is the only other way to fix this if you don't have access to the phone.
You can also "try" calling AppleCare.

Can I Turn off iMessage in a group text with multiple people with different devices? There's 1 person in the group text that doesn't use iPhone anymore and they can't see any messages that are sent unless we send as regular text individually.

Is there a way to turn off iMessage for a group text that includes multiple people with different non-apple devices? When a message is sent, only the iPhone users can see the iMessage. Those without them cannot see the texts unless we send individual Text Messages or turn off iMessage completely.

now I have this and it still doesn't work.

Cannot turn off iMessage in IOS 5.1 with Iphone Configuration Utility 3.5

Summary:
When phones are upgraded to the new iOS 5.1 and if they either have a iPhone Configuration Utility (IPCU) template already in stalled or if you install a new one there is no way to successfully turn off iMessage. Used to work with iOS 5.0 by using IPCU and turning off 'Allow Facetime' and the end-user would no longer have facetime OR iMessage. Do the same in the IPCU and apply it to a iOS 5.1 device and the iMessage will still work and FaceTime. Take a 5.0 phone with the template already in stalled where iMessge and FaceTime do not work...then upgrade phone to iOS 5.1 and the iMessage comes back!
Steps to Reproduce:
Create a template in (unsigned) in IPCU and turn off 'Allow FaceTime'. Apply this template through the use of the IPCU to an iPhone with iOS 5.1. iMessage will NOT be disabled.
OR
Create a template in (unsigned) in IPCU and turn off 'Allow FaceTime'. Apply this template through the use of the IPCU to an iPhone with iOS 5.0. Then confirm iMessage is gone (not working or available) then upgrade teh iPhone to iOS 5.1 and you will see iMessage will NOT be disabled and is in proper working condition.
Expected Results:
By turning off the 'Allow FaceTime' in the IPCU this will and has in the past disabled and removed the FaceTime and iMessage Apps.
Actual Results:
By turning off the 'Allow FaceTime' feature in IPCU and loading it onto an iOS 5.1 iPhone the iMessge and FaceTime Apps still are there and work.
Regression:
We have been able to test and get the same results on the iPhone 4 and 4S for iOS 5.0 (works as promised) and then once upgraded to iOS 5.1 (doesn't work as promised)
We have tried using IPCU 3.4 and 3.5 FYI.
Anyone else see this issue?

This seems to be working for me now but will keep monitoring it the next couple of times I use it to make sure its not a one time thing
