Notify Me is a good app for pop up alerts. You can set it to pop up a window for basically whatever you want; emails, facebook, twitter, texts, etc etc.

Did you goto the apple support profiles and try disabling your iPhone account on it?

Log in if you aren't already

Click on edit products

Click on the X next to the Iphone I believe

Then click unregister

Thanks a lot. I just tried. I'm assuming i should wait a bit before asking an iPhone user to text me again? Also, if this doesn't work--Do you think i should just get a new phone number? I'm not really committed to this phone number. Would that likely solve it?

You shouldn't have to wait long if at all, I wouldn't get a new number it would be more of a pain then searching for a fix. We can get this figured out. I went through the same thing as you.

Hmm. Still didn't work. I have a mac and iPad mini also. Does that have an effect? Thanks very much for your help TeamPowerstroke!

You'll need to go into your iMessage settings on all of your apple devices and disassociate your phone number from your account.

I disabled on all my apple devices. I noticed that my phone number is greyed out in iPhone 5 messages settings (so i can disable iMessages, but i can't remove the phone number).

Don't worry, I've had the Note 2 since release and just realized this was possible due to this very thread lol.

I know with text you can get a notification on lock screen. Goto your texts open settings, scroll down to preview message and click that.

For text personally i would not use the built in SMS program. There is a free program on Google Play called Chomp SMS. It will pop up text messages over the lock screen (and allow you to answer without unlocking). Handcent is another. Just remember to disable notifications in the default app or you will get 2 notifications.

[sprungson]

no luck with my iMessage stealing all my text issues. I think i will just get a new number..

[hatchex]

I hear that this app called nils locker or something will help with the lockscreen notifications. You might need to get this other app tho.

[jaymojones]

You don't need to get a new number. You just need to reactivate the iPhone and then you will be able to uncheck your number and sign out of iMessage. Also make sure that when you do activate the phone, that you have iMessage turned off/signed out of, any other device you have iMessage on (iPad, iPod, iMac, etc). Once you turn it off and sign out from your phone, turn the phone off and reactivate the Note. That will take care of your problem.

Yes this is how you do it--been through it a few times. It has to communicate with the apple servers and then you can uncheck your mobile and then just deactivate imessage.

[Nicholas Marangos]

This makes me not want to get rid of my iphone tomorrow.

[sprungson]

Man that's annoying! So i have to call AT&T tomorrow and have them reactivate my iPhone, so i can uncheck my phone number iMessage so that i can reactivate my note again to get texts. Kind of wish AT&T folks made this a part of the process when users migrate over.

no. you definitely should! This phone is really great. Atleast you get to learn from my ignorance. Before you activate your Note 3, make sure you unselect your phone number in iMessages on you iPhone.

It won't allow me to uncheck my own number, even though I haven't yet switched anything. Plus I guess I need to do this on every apple device I own. my imessages go to 2 ipads, an ipad mini and a macbook pro.

I have an iPhone right now and plan on switching on Saturday.. You can't uncheck the phone number on your phone for iMessage.... I can on my Mac and my iPad but not my iPhone.
