Why am I unable to receive text messages from iPhone users (LG3)?

[AC Question]

Using LG3 and cannot receive text from iphone users.

I have not had any trouble sending text just receiving them. I have only been notified by one person using an android that they had sent a text which I did not receive. All other text issues have been sent from iphones which my children have. I contacted Straight Talk which is my carrier and they told me that if I could send a text to myself and receive it then it was not my phone. I had a Samsung Proclaim previously and did not have any trouble. I have sent a text to myself as Straight Talk suggested and I received it fine. Both phones were/or are on the Straight Talk plan using verizon towers.

Did you previously own an iPhone? If you did go here selfsolve.apple.com/deregister-imessage and unregister your phone number.

No real problem here getting texts from bad apple users both on AT&T.
Sometimes just a delay is all.

iPhone's are notorious for texting issues. It's not you, it's the iPhone.
