There must be something I'm missing. Surely apple has figured out this bug! I don't know when I don't receive texts & the people sending them don't know I'm not receiving them... it's awful!
I'd like to help but can't tell what the problem is. Rather than asking for a how to for a specific solution, tell us what the problem is. What is going wrong? What are you trying to accomplish that isn't working? You'll never know when you're not receiving text so that comment doesn't help us help you.
Yes, sorry. The sender doesn't receive any notification that the text isn't going through so I look like I'm just not responding. (In group texts - I think they receive notice notice if it's one-to-one. The problem had to do with me switching from an iPhone back to an android. From what I've read, Verizon should've instructed me to turn off i-message before removing my sim card.
Thanks for that information. What you want to do is so much clearer to me now. I think you needthis linkand to scroll to the bottom of the page and follow the directions.
I have done all of the steps already! I confirmed that my number was deregistered a couple of weeks ago - it already was. I've followed every step that Apple prescribes to fix this problem, but they haven't worked: I've confirmed that my number isn't anywhere else in icloud, I've changed my password for icloud, I've reset to factory settings on my android, I've texted STOP to the icloud support number. BTW, when I retested after going through the steps, the problem was worse. I'm testing with a small group text to my two people. Before, I received responses from one of them in the group, but after the "fix,", I received neither of their responses in the group text.

It would have saved everyone time if you'd taken the trouble to mention that in your original post.
So sorry. I was actually surprised when I saw your part since I had detailed it originally. This is my first time posting a question, & not just looking for answers. I originally wrote all of the question into the title, and then I guess didn't transfer it all when I wasaw fixing my submission. I'm obviously frustrated. Thanks.
How do I release my phone number form iMessage & the cloud so I can receive texts from all iPhones?
