Q: Deregistered iMessage but still missing texts
I switched from iPhone to Android recently and deregistered my number prior to switching. Unfortunately, I am still missing important messages. Just to make sure, I got online and attempted to deregister (confirmed that number was deregistered). Got on the phone and waited quite some time to try and present this problem to an Apple support person, but got hung up on just after they took my information. (Very convenient.)
Short of asking everyone I know to delete my contact information and all text conversations that I might ever have been involved in when I had iPhone and iMessage, is there any other remedy? That my texts still are not reaching me seems like it should be illegal.

Do you still have your old iPhone? If so, follow the steps here.

Are you certain the other parties are sending messages to your phone number and not your Apple ID?
