I no longer have access to my iphone. Can i still deactivateit?

Turn off iMessage on the old iPhone.

Restore the iPhone as new.

Have the other iPhone users delete the current message thread, and start a new messae to you.

Have the other iPhone users delete your contact, then re-add it.

Go to ww.icloud.com and remove the device from your Find My iPhone.

Go to appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and/or password.

Contact Apple Support at getsupport.apple.com for further assistance if these steps don't work.

Wait about 30 days for the iMessage server to self-correct the issue.
