respond with text changes the country code of the recipient Hi there, For some reason, if someone is calling me and I cannot answer the phone, but chose to respond with text, the country code of the recipient is automatically changed, thus the message does not go through. I am based in Kenya, and my region is updated to Kenya, and Date and time set to automatic. My country code is +254 - but it changes their number to +255. Attaching some screenshots.

Changing iMessage from Australia to Ireland I have recently moved to Ireland from Australia and can't seem to get my phone to send iMessages on Irish numbers. I have changed the region to Ireland and turned imessage on and off. I have tried to remove the Australian number but it's still not working. I still have the Australian number as I still need access to it. Does anyone know how to make the iMessages work on my Irish number?

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.
