I'm using an iPhone 4, and I am not aloud to use 3G. Therefor, all iDevice users find me in iMessage and text me in that. I do not recieve texts from any iMessage user until I am in wifi, so how do I just completely 100% unsubscribe or cancel iMessage?
iMessage-OTHER
settings - imessage - OFF?
You can go into Settings, Messages, turn iMessage off. It may take a short time for them to remove you from the database.
Settings>Messages> Slide iMessage to Off
No. I want to cancel the iMessage service for me, people still send texts to me with iMessage when I disabled it in settings.
There is no cancel it's an iphone feature. You can only turn it off.
Even if it were possible to cancel imessage, that would mean you would get SMS text from everyone.
That's what I want
sorry you can't only way is to get a non apple device.
I'm assuming you're running iOS 6.0 or higher, correct? If so:
If you setup a support profile with Apple, online, you can login to your support profile & remove the phone. This will also disable FaceTime with your Apple ID. Or, you can change your Apple ID password, then turn iMessage off. That should also disassociate your Apple ID from iMessage.
Only other way I know of to end this is to go "nuclear". If you want to do that, post back & I'll tell you how.
Nuclear option, please?
Here goes:
First, you need to create a new Apple ID...must be a verified email address. Next, make sure your contacts, calendars & iTunes content are on your computer...remember, we're going "nuclear"...you're gonna lose ALL data on your phone...messages...app data...everything. You won't be restoring from backup. Then, on your phone: turn off FaceTime, iMessage & delete the iCloud account...settings>iCloud>scroll down>delete account. Then: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. When you go to reactivate/setup again, select "new" device, & use your new Apple for iCloud. Once setup, you can activate FaceTime, but do not turn iMessage on or activate it. Go into Settings>iTunes/App store & use your old ID...if your new ID is shown, tap it, sign out, then sign back in with your old ID. Now, connect to iTunes & sync your contacts & iTunes content back to the phone.
That should do it.
Make a full backup before you proceed in case you change your mind or want to go back.

Yup, that was mentioned back in July and didn't solve the problem. wjosten's subsequent advice was the solution.
