Re: Not able to receive texts messages

There are 2 things you have to do.

1. Notify iMessage that your number is no linger part of the system. If you didn't do that before switching, and you can still go back to the iPhone, put the SIM in the iPhone and disconnect that phone from iMessage. If you can't, go to a Genius Bar and they can do it for you.

2. Tell everyone with an iPhone that they have to send you at least one iMessage with the SMS box checked.
