Can anyone help? Did anyone resolve similar issues?

If you came from an iPhone, you likely still have iMessage enabled. Basically, if you ever use iMessage, your phone number gets registered with Apple and from then on anyone with an iPhone that tries to text you will have their message routed through iMessage. If you no longer have an iPhone, those messages just drop into nowhere (or wait for you to come back to an iPhone).
Here are instructions on what you need to do:
