Cannot deregister iMessage

Hi! I want to deregister my phone number (+3579633xxxx) from i-message service online on this page (Deregister and Turn Off iMessage - Apple Support) but I can't enter country code for Cyprus. Could you please help me?

Your number can still be deregistered using these methods:

1. Remove the number from your Apple ID
2. Turn off iMessage/FaceTime on an iPhone using that SIM
3. Contact Apple Support for manual deregistration

Your number will be deregistered — you simply need to use one of the supported methods.
