Can't get iOS 7 texts on new S4

[Keylah]

HELP!!

I got an S4 last Thursday and I can't get messages from people who have upgraded to iOS7. I unregistered my phone today (so we'll see what happens in however many hours), but here's the kicker: I'm not looking to change my number. Old people (aka grandparents) have it and it's just too difficult to make them remember to change it. Plus, I no longer have my phone. I did a factor restore and wiped that sucker clean, then gave it to my dad, so there's no changing the iMessage functionality either. I'm at an impasse! What is a new phone owner to do?! HELP PLEASE!!

First stop being disrespectful to your grandparents by referring to them as old people....

Think you're being a bit oversensitive

I think that's only disrespectful depending on the context lol. My grandma calls herself old lady every other sentence.
