Wipe my phone number from Apple imessage server

I need to wipe my phone number from the Apple iMessage server to when I receive messages from iPhone users the message isn't parsed into 5 or more separate messages. I turned off FaceTime and iMessages on my old iPhone 4

If you deactivated iMessage already successfully, then your contacts who use iPhones will need to erase any existing conversation with you and start a new one - that should fix the problem with fragmented messages.

Remove your phone number from the iMessage servers

remove your phone number from the iMessage servers

I did the chat deal through apple's support. It's supposed to work withing 24 hours. I've never even owned an apple product, but the phone number my carrier gave me was previously owned by an Iphone user. So everyone with an Iphone that was trying to txt me, their messages were going to the previous owner of the number for some reason. BUT hopefully it's fixed now, finally.
Apple needs to come up with some kind of an easier fix for this, an automated system or something, the text that says STOP to a number doesn't work, and it says that right in their troubleshooting. Hope the guy that had my number isn't married, cause some of the txts he was getting were pictures HAHA!

Unlink phone number from Apple ID due to facetime

Apple ID used for many years shared by family. Bought many songs and apps to be used on wife and kids iphone ipod touches. NOW with facetime I want to be able to remove my phone number from that Apple ID and create a new one JUST FOR FACETIME. Keep the original id just for purchases; sharing apps with family. Problem is our ipads use the original id and seem to be assigned my phone number and email. I do NOT want my wife and kids getting my facetime calls and texts!! I have created the new id but cannot seem to remove my phone number from the old id. DO I need to completely reset my iphone to do this? Do I also need to reset the kids ipads?

Hi, Dranon.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here are the steps for removing your phone number from your Apple ID. I also would recommend signing out completely of iMessage and FaceTime on any device that uses your Apple ID.
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.

How do I de-register my phone number from Apple servers?

I recently switched to an Android phone, specifically the Galaxy S III, and since then I can not receive messages from other iPhone users. I do not have access to my old iPhone anymore.

Hi there, I also had recently switch from an Iphone to and Android phone and had the same problem. I used the Apple Support Chat and they got my messaging working again. You have to know your Iphone number, serial number and have a working email associated with your apple account. it took less than 5 minutes for the tech to remove my number from the apple servers/iMessage. Everything is working fine now. So happy!

Possible fraudulant phone number from Apple online store.

Just wondering if anyone in the Apple community has had experience with fraudulent phone numbers from the Apple online store. The number in question is 1 800 506 3096 with a person named Michael with ext "1111015" needing to verify an iPhone purchase from placed by my father. Only thing is my father has never owned an Apple product and really doesn't even know how to order things online. My parents checked their credit statements and found no purchases so no identity was compromised.

It was a message left on my parents home phone, the man named Michael left the number and his ext in the message saying he needed to confirm details about a new iPhone purchase placed by my father.
-Update to the situation, my mother called the actual online store number the 1 800 my apple, spoke to a supervisor asking about this number that called them, the supervisor said he would call the number himself, after on hold for a minute or two he came back and said himself that the number was an actual apple online number. I seriously doubt it because I Googled the 1 800 506 3096 number and came across numerous posts saying they got a call from a Michael asking to confirm details about a purchase.

How to remove my phone number from iMessage?

Hi. I recently gave up my iPhone to switch to a non-Apple device. While I had the iPhone, my phone number was used for iMessage.
Now when my friends using iPhone try to send me a message, it automatically select iMessage as Apple recognises my mobile number as an iMessage number even though I don't have an iPhone anymore. Is there any way to remove my phone number from Apple's iMessage database?

I have exactly the same problem. I ported my number to an Android phone, and kept my iphone to use as an Ipod touch. I have taken the sim card out, wiped the phone. put the sim card back in to restore and turned off imessage completely. Nothing works. Its like my phone number is stored on some Apple imessage server somewhere and any of my friends iphones automatically see my number as an iphone still and default to imessage. Then the messages they send are never received by anything. My only course of action is to ask them to turn their imessaging service off. It is deeply frustrating.
I also tried to check if it was registered but it apparently never was (I had bought a refurbished iphone from AT&T). If I login to my apple profile their are no products registered.
Apple needs to get this fixed pronto, because some of us are still customers even though we may have switched our phones. And I am not a very happy customer right now.

I replaced my iPhone with a Galaxy 5 and am not receiving all of my text messages. The sales person told me to remove my phone number from iTunes to stop this from happening. Is that true? What does iTunes have to do with text messages?

I replaced my iPhone with a Samsung Galaxy5 and I am not receiving all of my text messages now. The rep at the store told me to go to iTunes and take my phone # off of the account and that would fix the problem. Is that true? What does iTunes have to do with text messages anyway?

Hello jn_andrade,
It sounds like you are no longer getting text messages becuase your Apple ID is still using your phone number for iMessage. I would use these steps to unlink your phone number from your account:
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.

TechCrunch posted a solution today that applies to this problem, I think.
Go to: https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do
Click your old iPhone and "unregister" it.

How can i remove my phone number from imessage and just use email address ?

Hi all
I've searched all the forums and still can't find an answer for what i need (what i think i need!)
I have an iphone without a data plan so whenever anybody who is registered with imessage sends me a message i will not
receive it until i am back on wifi.
What i want to achieve is to be able to receive sms messages from imessage users when i am not on wifi and then imessages when i am back on wifi.
My assumption is that if i can unlink my mobile number from iMessage and only have it associated with my email address that this should work, but i cannot seem to remove my phone number from imessage, in the settings > iMessage > send and receive it will allow me to un-tick the associated email addresses but my phone number is greyed out and will not allow me to untick.
On my home Mac i can go into messages app and deselect the phone number but not on the iphone.
One solution says to deregister my phone on https://supportprofile.apple.com/ which i have tried (i can't see how that would work anyhow as there is no phone number in that registration)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
thanks, Andy

Regardless if using your cell phone number or your Apple ID email address, iMessage requires an internet connection via an available wi-fi network or via your carrier's cellular network. Without a data plan and no internet access with your carrier's cellular network, an iMessage addressed to your email address can be received only when your iPhone is connected to an available wi-fi network no different when an iMessage is addressed to your cell phone number.
You cannot deselect or remove your cell phone number below you can be reached by iMessage at with iMessage on an activated iPhone. The iPhone's phone number is activated along with your Apple ID.
