Hey guys,
I just got my Nexus 5 in today, let me tell you this thing rocks! I'm having one BIG problem. Before I got my phone switched(had to go to the AT&T store and get a micro sim) I turned iMessage off, deleted my iCloud account from the phone and erased the phone. Now, upon activating my Nexus 5, people with iphones that I had been texting couldn't text me back. They would get mine but when they tried to send one back it would try as an imessage and then just fail. They could manually override it and send as an SMS but had to do it every time. I called AT&T and made sure the account was provisioned properly, and went into Apple's support page and deauthorized my phone from my Apple ID. The tech support rep from AT&T told me that it would take a day or so for Apple to remove my number and the issue should fix itself. Is this true? It seems like now some of my friends that have an iPhone aren't having to manual override anymore and some are. This sucks and could be a deal breaker if I don't get this fixed. Any suggestions, would be great! Thanks!
