Whenever I had an issue getting texts after switching to Android, I just changed my Apple ID password and I was good to go.
I am switching from an iphone5 to the M8 on Tuesday and in preparation I have already disabled imessage and called apple to make sure they removed my number from imessage on their side. The rep texted me a code and I had to read it back to her. She said, "ok I removed you from the system, it can take 24-48 hours to fully remove you". This was last night and I am already finding out that people can text me from an iphone. Keep in mind, I am still on an iphone, but with imessage turned off, so it should still have the same effect as if i was on the M8. I had a few people I know test text me with their iphones and it still attempts to send via imessage then when it wont go through it asks to send as a text. Everything seems to be working fine...
Hopefully I have sorted this problem out before I switch!
That's exactly what I did and it didn't work.
I did and it didn't do anything. Even the apple agent said it could take up to 45 days for me to be out of their servers and I did everything else suggested to remove my iCloud account, turn off iMessage, etc before I got rid of my last iPhone.
I really liked the m8 but am sort of being forced to go back to my iPhone. Even after doing everything I could do to receive messages from people that used to iMessage me, they wouldn't go through.
I can't risk missing out on important communication. Apple sucked me in and won't let me go
Sorry but I dont understand this at all. What is imessage and what is so crucial about it? Why cant those people just text message you or just use whatsapp which you can get for android?
Again... I don't HAVE TO HAVE iMessage. But coming from an iPhone - where iMessage is - all the people that iMessage me cannot text me when I switched to the m8. I really don't understand what's so difficult to get.
They have his number. 'They' also have iPhones. The default messaging uses iMessages to other iPhones. This has to be deactivated. Meantime the OP is missing work messages. After this I'm out as I never had an iPhone, but most of my clients did, and ALL of my contact virtually was via texting while they worked.Just give them your mobile number???
The messages aren't coming through in the first place! For the love of god! Lol

NO! Don't go back! Okay. Call Apple and have then remove your number from their database. If that doesn't work. Have your iPhone friends delete you from their contacts and re-add you.

I'm still not understanding. If people are sending you text messages and they aren't coming through then there is something wrong with either the network or the hand set.
