Unregistered my old iPhone & de-activated iMessage but still receiving iMessages?

The phone has been wiped now but before hand I de-activated it within the iMessage settings, as in turned it off. It's not even a registered Apple product any more yet with my new Android phone my friends are still able to send iMessages to my number - which I can't receive. Help?

You may want to contact Apple Support. The quotation below is from Can’t receive text messages on a non-Apple phone
If you don't have access to your iPhone, or if you can't deactivate iMessage from your iPhone, please contact Apple Support. Support for this issue is free.

  • How do I delete or change my number in my old iPhone, so that I can still use it for iMessages without issue?

    I have an iPhone 4S that was with Verizon. About a week ago I ported into Virgin Mobile and bought a new phone to use until the next iPhone comes out. I now still have my old iPhone, which I want to use for iMessages, as well as like an iPod, etc.
    The issue I am seeing is that my phone number is still registered to my iPhone and I haven't yet figured out how to delete it or change it. The problem this is causing is it is making my iPhone sometimes intercept messages from those with iMessage who are texting my phone number. The messages should be going to my new phone, not my iPhone, since they are texting my phone number (not my iMessage email) and my iPhone has no service connected to it.
    Here's an example of what I'm trying to say: the other day I texted a guy selling an item online. I used my new phone to text him, not my iPhone. He texted me right back, but the text went to my iPhone, not my new phone. We then texted each other via iMessage and no texts were making it to my new phone.
    I think this is also causing some messages to not go through on my new phone either, where I'm just simply not getting texts from people sending me messages. My iPhone isn't getting the messages, nor is my new phone.
    What I need to do is delete my number or put a random number in my phone so that I don't keep missing or losing texts. I saw the ways recommended to disconnect your number from iMessage, but that then kills my ability to use iMessage on my iPhone. There must be a way that the number in my iPhone can be changed or deleted. We are in 2013 I think, and this was something I always had the option of changing via manual programming on every phone I've had since 1902 or so.
    How to do this?!

    I also already deleted my phone number from iMessage on my MBP.

  • If I travel outside the US with an unlocked iphone and use a local SIM will I still receive iMessages sent to my US number when wifi is activated?

    If I travel outside the US with an unlocked iphone and use a local SIM will I still receive iMessages sent to my US number when wifi is activated?

    Ok, one of my problems is that when I arrive it will take me a few weeks to get a social security number and only t-mobile will give me a sim without a ssn - but edge for a few weeks will be better than no iPhone.
    Unless someone out there can suggest an alternative?

  • My computer recognizes my old iPhone, iPad and iPod but NOT my new iPhone. What the heck???

    My computer recognizes my old iPhone, iPad and iPod but NOT my new iPhone what the heck? It was fine last week, now nothing

    When you plug in your phone go to the sidebar on the left, select the device, and select the menu you want to sync.
    For example at the top there is summary, info, apps, movies, etc.
    If you wanted to sync movies go under there and pick and chose the movies you want on the device.
    Let's assume you are doing that and syncing is not going properly. Then first double check that there is a checkmark in the top left of that page that says sync movies
    If there is uncheck and then hit apply. Then it will take all the movies off. Now re-check everything and hit apply.

    I am trying to restore an old iphone to a new iphone but it will not allow becaue it says the "old iphone" password is incorrect but the passwork I am using works for my ITunes account and is the only password I have..?? Please help!!  Thank you.

    When using the iPhone with the Windows OS, you need to have the Apple Mobile Device Service running. It should start automatically when you start the computer, but sometimes things happen. Use this support document to try and restart the service. See if that helps.

  • I have a new iPhone 5c. I just downloaded my pictures off of my old iPhone onto my pc but now I don't know how to upload them to my new phone. Does anyone have and suggestions?

    I just got my new iPhone 5c and I have succesfully transfered my pictures from my old iPhone to my PC but now I am not able to get them onto my new phone. Can anyone help?

    One way is via iTunes sync: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
    Another option would be to turn on Photo Stream on both devices and then add the photos (as described in "When do my photos upload to Photo Stream") to Photo Stream on the computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486

  • How to set up the iPhone 5 so that I can receive iMessage (incoming messages) and send text messages (outgoing) every time?

    How do I set up the iPhone 5 so that I can receive iMessage (incoming messages) and send text messages (outgoing) every time? I have limited internet quota but unlimited sms!

    Thanks!!
    The reason I don't want to set it off is because I want to let others send me iMessage - most people prefer that according to their plan.
    How do I bring this request to the hands of the people doing the ios updates? Maybe they could work on this for the future...

    Dear Anubha,
    I hope these windows illustrate what I am facing.
    The above window shows the prompt that the software requires activation.
    The version is 8.1.0.
    This next window is the point where I select activation by phone.
    This final window shows that the "response code" is not returned.  I get an
    "Activation Number" instead.

  • I have elements 5 on a vista pc. Elements will not open I receive the message "Attempt to access invalid address". Ihave re-installed but still receive the same message. Any ideas please.

    I have elements 5 on a vista pc. Elements will not open I receive the message "Attempt to access invalid address". I have re-installed but still receive the same message. Any ideas please.

    Make sure your user account has full administrative permissions.  Then, at this stage of the game, I would take the following steps:
    - Re-create the Preferences file following these instructions:
    Re-create the Photoshop Elements preferences file to eliminate problems that a damaged preferences file might cause.
    Note: When you use this solution, Photoshop Elements will create a new preferences file and you will lose custom settings associated with your current preferences file. However, the file you rename in step 2 is your original preferences file. If you determine that the preferences file is not causing the problem, then you can restore your custom settings by undoing the instructions below.
    To re-create the Photoshop Elements preferences file:
    Quit Photoshop Elements.
    Locate the Adobe Photoshop Elements preferences files. In Photoshop Elements 5.0, there are two preferences files, one for Organizer and one for Editor:
    Users\[ user ]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\5.0\Organizer\psa.prf
    Users\[ user ]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\5.0\Editor\Photoshop Elements 5 Prefs.psp
    Rename the extension for the files (for example, to psa.old).
    Start Photoshop Elements. Photoshop Elements creates a new preferences file.
    I doubt that this will fix your problem, however, it is always the first thing to try.  If it does not, take these steps:
    - Uninstall Photoshop Elements
    - Run the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301)
    - Reinstall Elements
    - Reinstall the 5.0.2 patch
    Good luck,
    Juergen

    Ok thanks - that explains it:
