iPhone text messages not going to my Android

I had this problem too. And I didn't have my iPhone anymore. So, what I found worked for me was deregistering my iMessage account. I went here Deregister iMessage on your iPhone or online - Apple Support and was able to get a confirmation code sent to my android phone and from there I was able to deregister my account and finally start getting texts from iPhones again.

I found the solution ! All you have to do is text the person you want to text from your iPhone But before you send the message turn off your data and WiFi. Then text them and eventually it will say not delivered and click on the little icon next to it and put send as text message (now turn on your WiFi or data) and the message will get delivered as a text message and will also fix the problem. It will send it as a text message to that person from now on if they have an Android. Hopes this helps!

It is most likely they are still IM'ing your apple id instead of your new phone number.

have them explicitly text your phone number and not your apple id.

😐 sorry to hear about your downgrade.

and when they reply, nothing?

do you have any other ios apple devices?

So he receives the texts you send him, but he can't reply to those texts?

Yeah, I'm stumped on this one.

and this is with other iPhone users, or just your friend?

The exact same thing happened to me with my change to the S4.

My daugthter can send me a text b/c she clicks on it and changes it to a text messages instead of an imessage but I cannot get messages from any other iphones.

I googled and it said to unregister my phone, I logged on and my phone wasn't listed.

I've tried everythign you have as well.

Tell them to go to your contact and click edit and change the "label from iPhone to mobile so it knows not to send as a iMessage that what it old my friend and it worked

That's what I told*** my friend and it worked

Changing the label makes no difference at all.

This is definately happening. It has something to do with the phone trying to send texts as an iMessage. It is related to the new IO7 release.

I set my phone to send either as an iMessage or a text. This is something you have to do manually in settings.

I was sending messages to other iPhones and they were not going through at all. The worst part was I was not getting the 'message failed to send' until a day or so later. I was able to send and receive texts to other phones - so it is specific to iPhones.

This issue hit me Sunday, and seems to be fixed now. I did a reset on my phone and all is well. So, try that. this does NOT mean just powering it down. You need to do the thing where you hold the home button and the power button on the top. Hold them together, at the same time, for about 15 seconds. Your phone will go black and power down.

I do this once a week, to make sure the phone re-boots and gets the latest fixins. Know that when you 'power' your phone off, it isn't turning. Like all stupid 'smart' phones, powering your phone down just puts it to sleep.

good luck, y'all!

I just switched from iphone 3GS to iphone 4S everything seems fine but I am not able to send/receice any text messages throught my iphone 4S. My SMS centre number also seems fine. can anyone help me out.

Have you contacted your carrier to make sure your account is properly set up?
