If you've ever had an iPhone, either remove the phone from iMessage (using a Mac) or ask an Apple store to do it for you if you don't have access to it any longer.
Ask all your iPhone friends (whether you've had an iPhone and fixed that problem or if you've never had one) to send you at least one message with the SMS box ticked. Then their iPhones will remember to send you SMS messages, not iMessages. (Android doesn't do iMessages - it's a proprietary Apple protocol and they won't allow anyone else to use it.)
