[AC Question]

I can phone and text iPhone users but I can't receive their replies or new correspondence from them. I have tried deregister my phone number from iMessage but my phone number came back 'not registered ' so that wasn't the issue.

Welcome to Android Central forums!

Can you please provide us with the model of your phone? What type of phone do you have? If you have an iPhone, go to settings scroll down to messages, and turn off iMessage. If it is already off try turning it on. And see if this helps with the problem.

If you have an unlimited text messaging program, iMessage is not needed. This is only assuming you have the iPhone.

Also ask one of them you're having a problem with, to check the SMS box then send you a text. If it works, that's your solution. (Unfortunately, iMessage is proprietary and if their iPhones are still sending you iMessages, you won't receive them.)
