iPhone text messages not going to my Android

I just switched from an iPhone 4 to a Galaxy S4 and now other iPhone users can't text me. I have turned off imessage, unregistered my iPhone from Apple, changed my Apple password and did a hard reset on my old iPhone. Another iPhone user even deleted and recreated my contact information in his phone but text messages are still not going through.

iPhone 4, iOS 7

I was having the same problem. I still have the old iphone and it's wireless is still activated. I turned off messaging on the iphone and then pwer-cycled my new Samsung and it began receiving messages. If you don't power cycle the new phone it might not register with the message servers and if you don't turn off messaging on the iphone it probably stays registered with an imessage server.
