Can't receive text messages on Galaxy Note 3 after trading in iPhone.

Ask the Galaxy vendor or tech support for assistance. It's not an Apple product.

No doubt. Why should they admit it's their problem. If it is something to do with your phone not being properly reset by you before trading it in, then really it's your problem.

I know. You don't wish to be rude, but you will be anyway. Love it. Even your original post is rude.

"And my phone WAS reset correctly" and I would know that how?

With all those Google pages I'm surprised you haven't found this so-called solution. Good luck.

Unfortunately, you did NOT do eveything correctly. You neglected to turn off iMessage before you traded in your phone.

Bummer.

It will take 45 days for Apple's servers to decide to stop trying to route messages to your phone via imessage.

There is nothing you can do but wait.

Recently got a Note 3 myself and having the same issues with 7.0 users. I've tried everything as well including turning off iMessage on my old device. I have it right here and I'm still not getting my messages though I've changed my email on id, removied iphone from devices on id and changed password.

Additional Information

Unlink a phone number

To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone:

• Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
• Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.

This should remove your phone number from other devices using the same Apple ID with FaceTime and Messages. If the phone number is still available on other devices after you sign out of FaceTime and iMessage on the iPhone, you may need to sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your devices, then sign in to FaceTime and Messages again on devices you want to use.

Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple IDpassword.

iOS: Deactivating iMessage

Symptoms

This article will provide assistance if you're experiencing any of the following symptoms:

• You are unable to receive SMS on your non-Apple device when sent from another person using an iPhone.
• You are unable to send SMS to a non-Apple device because they are sent as an iMessage.

Resolution

If you are experiencing one of the symptoms above, the cellular phone number may still be registered with iMessage.

iMessage is registered with your cellular telephone number when you turn it on with your iPhone. If you want to deregister your phone number:

Tap Settings > Messages and turn iMessage off

If you still cannot deactivate iMessage after you perform the steps above, or if you no longer have access to the iPhone, please contact Apple support for assistance.

Call apple support with your AppleID that you used to sign in to iMessage. Tell them you are following TS 5185.

Finally... SOLUTION!!!!

Hey guys. After being a loyal iPhone user for almost 5yrs, I finally switched to (dark) Adnroid side and I love it! I was stressing out over this very issue for the longest time. My wife still has an iPhone 5 and I could never receive her text messages on my Galaxy Note 3. After struggling with using the aforementioned fixes, nothing worked. After a week, I was considering returning my awesome new galaxy and just getting the iPhone 5s.

Finally, my wife figured out a solution so simple we stared at each other dumbfounded. It's as simple as this:

1. I went to my wife's iPhone and went to Contacts and selected my contact info

2. I scrolled to my phone number. It was filed as "iPhone." Now change that to simply "mobile"

3. Now send a text from iPhone to Galaxy. You should now be able to receive texts on the Galaxy from the iPhone without it trying to send it as an iMessage.

Alternate (more frustrating way)

After the iPhone user (ios7) tries to send a text and it comes back as undelivereable, select the exclamation point next to the returned text, then click "send as text message." this will force it to send the message as an SMS text as opposed to an iMessage. This will work, but you have to go through this song and dance everytime.

I hope this works for you guys- it did for me, and I'm happy I'm keeping my new phone!!

Same issue here, I am glad I found this post.

I called the Apple support and have them deactivate iMessage in their internal systems for my phone number.

I don't understand how some can argue it's a user fault for not signing out of iMessage before getting rid off an iPhone, but this tops the most rediculous issue - if I wipe the phone clean it asks me for my Apple ID and password, should it sign you out of iMessage and FaceTime at that time automagically? Apparently not....

Another way to sign out if you no longer have the device is to

-sign into imessage on a iphone
-activate it
-uncheck his email and phone number
-sign out
-power cycle
-sign into original iphone user
