Group Text Issue

[mhunter6378]

Pulled the trigger again and got my X back. Only issue now is people with iPhones are still trying to send texts to my iMessage. Never going iPhone again.

If you still have the iPhone just turn off iMessage. If not, sign in to your iTunes account, go to view my account, manage devices and click remove by your iPhone. If all that does not work, change your iTunes password and that "should" do it.

I've tried all of the above. The issue isn't really with individual texts with people but rather with a larger group text that I use for school. They all have iPhones and we use the group text to communicate about HW etc. They can see all my texts but I wont see any of their replies. Very frustrating.

Sounds like your number is still associated with your apple ID in iMessages. iPhones will revert to SMS when iMessage fails so when someone sends you an individual text you will in most cases get that unless the iPhone user has turned off that option in their settings. But group messages are handled through MMS. If my understanding is correct, iPhones don't revert to SMS when replying through a group message (MMS). Worst case scenario, if you can't get your number unregistered from iMessage, it will deactivate automatically after 30 days of inactivity.

Yeah. It's shocking to me that Apple still hasn't resolved this issue, but I suppose it's not really in their interest to do so. I'm slowly starting to get text messages from everyone in the group again, so hopefully it's only a matter of time. Thanks guys.

I got single messages figured out (turn off iMessage on my old iPhone) but still cant get group messages working with iPhone users. Some of them see my messages, others dont, and I dont get any of their responses. I have a new Moto X. If I cant fix this issue Im going back to iPhone and Apple wins. So annoying that Im trapped in the Apple prison.

Unregistered my iPhone from Apple Support Profile and group texting still doesnt work. Next Im going to try removing the device from account via iTunes.

Unbelievable. I have seen iPhone switchers complaining about this problem for over a year. This bs should be illegal. And no I dont want to download a 3rd party app for texting. If I cant get this working on stock Android Im switching back.

This problem and MS Exchange contacts not syncing from all contact folders are deal breakers. And I love the Moto X... but there are certain features that just HAVE to work. So frustrated right now.

Do you need the Motorola Assist feature that reads texts to you when you're driving? If not, try downloading a 3rd party replacement SMS app called Textra.

Thats insane! No wonder I had to tell my brother to turn on his SMS. He had no idea it was off and he recently updated to iOS7. So I would have tell all my friends to turn their SMS back on. No wonder I havnt received a text since I bought the Moto X. iPhone 5s here I come.
