I am not getting the code to deregister iMessage

I'm trying to deregister iMessage. I do not have access to my old iPhone. I need to be able to receive text on my new device via SMS. When attempting to deregister online, I do not get the verification code.

Deregister iMessage not working I used to have an iPhone. I switched to Android a while back. However, when my wife or others message me, Apple still thinks that I have an iPhone, so they still send me blue text messages. Those do not arrive to my phone. The sender thinks they do, because apple still shows it as sent. But they don't. It mainly happens with group messages. There are long text threads where folks think I'm part of the chain while I'm not. The solution is to deregister your simcard/number, so that Apple doesn't incorrectly route the messages. HOWEVER, deregistering isn't working for me. When you go to Deregister and Turn Off iMessage - Apple Support >> You provide your phone number, and then you're supposed to get a verification message on your phone. >> That verification message doesn't get to me. >> Then you're supposed to click on "Didn't receive a code". But that just routes you to the same webpage and you start over again So I'm a bit lost... Any tips?

I am not getting the code supposedly having been sent to my Android mobile to deregister iMessages even though it says it was sent?

I'm having the same issue. How was yours resolved? I don't receive an SMS when I request one to deregister my iMessage.
