iMessage not being received on Android
Hi, I am having an issue in receiving SMS messages sent by a friend from her 5S iPhone to my Android phone (Nexus 6P running Android version 6.0.1). I recently switched from an iPhone 4S to the Android phone. My 4S has been deregistered from iMessage. Before switching to the Android, there was no issue sending iMessages between us. Now, she can receive my SMS texts on the 5S but her responses back to me do not get thru to my phone. So this is what we did to try to resolve the issue:
1. She made sure that SMS and MMS were enabled on the 5S.
2. She deleted me from Contacts on her 5S, deleted her iMessage conversation with to me, and rebooted her 5S.
3. I deleted her from the Contacts on my Android phone, deleted the SMS messages conversation with her, and rebooted my Android phone.
4. She sent me an iMessage to my cell number.
5. I received her text, responded back to her and she received my response.
6. She then reentered my info in Contacts on the 5S and I did the same o the Android phone.
It seemed like the problem was resolved but it wasn’t. I sent her a text yesterday and she received it but again her response back to me did not get thru to my phone. I can successfully text other people on iPhones and receive their responses without an issue but not from this certain individual. Why? Your help would be greatly appreciated.
