Switched from iPhone, need help with imessage not showing

[3Fletch]

Switched from an Iphone 4 and I really like this phone. I have a couple buddies with iPhones and I am not getting their messages. I checked my iPhone and they are showing up on it not my new phone. Any thoughts???

It might be because Iimessage uses a imessage/icloud email and that might be what the are messaging. Ask them to type in the number instead of just clicking on your number and see if that works.

if you have an ipad or mac, turn off iMessage. if that doesnt work send them a text and start a new text string.

You have 2 options:

1) Turn off imessages on your other device

2) remove you phone number as a place to receive imessages.

Keep in mind with number 2, they can still send messages to any other addresses that remain so they can still send them to your other devices and not your phone.

If none of those work, try this. I had to actually go to my profile on Apple.com (https://daw.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebOb...618204c476572a1b5e5fb3518&path&language=US-EN) and remove the device from my account because nothing else worked.

I've also heard that if you wait 48 hours, Apple will automatically "reset" your profile and it will know that your phone is not an iPhone anymore. Not sure how true this is though.

Just turn iMessage off on your phone. All others can stay on as long as you're not using your phone number and an email instead.

The solution that finally cut the tie to iMessage was changing the iCloud password. After that nobody had issues sending text messages to me and my new Android device. I even called AT&T and Apple. AT&T did not know anything about this iMessage bug and the first Apple rep did neither, but after speaking to his manager who had a friend with the same issue he told me that it could take up to a month for the system to forget me. That's when I changed the password and everything worked nicely. Just ensure removing all references to your phone number or of your other Apple devices. Good luck.
