unregistering a phone number from imessage

unregistering a phone number from iMessage
location: macrumors.com - date: September 25, 2012
So I got my iPhone 5, when I did I got it from another provider and backed up all the data from my iPhone 4. Because of this the iPhone 5 came with it's own number however I'm currently in the process of getting my number transferred to my new provider for my iPhone. My iPhone 5 now though has 2 phone numbers it receives iMessages off, I want to delete the phone number my iPhone 5 came with but it won't let me (it's shaded out and won't let me un click it). To make matters worse on my iTunes account I don't have any mobile numbers listed so I can't do it from there either. So any ideas?, I don't want to use the new number I have been given and I don't want to get iMessages from random people once the number has been reassigned to someone else. I have been able unclick on that number for my Macbook Pro, but on both my iPhone 4 and iPhone 5 I cannot delete that number from receiving iMessages.

How to remove my phone number from iMessage?
location: apple.com - date: March 2, 2012
Hi. I recently gave up my iPhone to switch to a non-Apple device.  While I had the iPhone, my phone number was used for iMessage. Now when my friends using iPhone try to send me a message, it automatically select iMessage as Apple recognises my mobile number as an iMessage number even though I don't have an iPhone anymore.  Is there any way to remove my phone number from Apple's iMessage database?

Removing phone number from iMessage
location: apple.com - date: June 17, 2013
I had an iPhone. It was associated with iMessage. I moved to the (gasp) Samsung Galaxy S IV. I have several other devices, including desk tops and iPads that are logged into iMessage. For some reason, all my previous contacts with iPhones can't text me, unless they turn off iMessage. Their devices don't see a delivered message, but it never tries text either. As an Apple user, I'm let down by the fact that users can't specify in a thread that they don't want to use iMessage, especially given the number of complaints concerning this feature.

Hiding Phone Number from Text Messaging on iPhone 4
location: ilounge.com - date: July 10, 2011
Does anyone know how to prevent your own phone number showing up when you text? My plan is with AT&T and my number is currently blocked from people seeing it via caller id. I have Google Voice also and I can text from there, but I feel it's a pain to keep opening up a 3rd party app to do so. Is there a setting of some sort on the iPhone 4. I've gone to phone settings and SHOW MY CALLER ID is off. I've also erased my phone number from the MY NUMBER area also, but had to leave a "1" as it couldn't be completely empty. Any help on this is much appreciated! Thanks!

how to copy phone number from sim card to iphone
location: macrumors.com - date: August 27, 2012
Guys, I just got a new sim card from ATT. They told me that I need to use the new SIM card starting this month. I called them, they activated the new SIM. Now I want to keep all my contacts(numbers and emails). I'm not sure if they're on my old SIM card or on the iPhone(3GS). So I do I move/keep all my contacts without writing every one of them down and manually save them on the new SIM? Or is there anyway i can save my numbers on the iPhone so I never lose them? Thanks. Shaun

How can I add my phone number to iMessage on iPad?
location: macrumors.com - date: February 11, 2013
I have set up iMessage on my iPhone and it works perfectly. Someone sends me an iMessage to my iPhone via my email or number, I will receive it. But I don't seem to see an option in settings for iMessage to allow me to recieve at my number (if that makes sense). I want to add my number to my iPad's iMessage settings so that if someone sends me an iMessage to my number, it is sent to all my devices with the same Apple ID. Any way I could do this?

iMessage won't send from my phone number only my email
location: imore.com - date: March 4, 2013
My wife used to receive regular SMS and Imessage both from my normal mobile number. Yesterday I had to turn iMessage off to send her an SMS as I had no Internet signal. Now when I send her a imessage it says on her phone I'm sending it from my email address. I've went into settings and tried to remove my email address and use just the phone number but that option is "greyed out" meaning I have to use my email. Why is this? How can I make it send my SMS and iMessage from my phone number? Thanks guys.

iMessage sent from email address rather than phone number...
location: apple.com - date: October 14, 2011
I'm having similar problems with my iMessage update under iOS 5.  When I send text messages to other iPhone users, it appears as iMessage and from my email address rather than my phone number.  I went into Settings > Messages > Receive At, but there's no option to add my phone number.  It keeps showing my Apple Account, which I registered under for iMessage and iCloud with my email address.  It only allows me to add another email address.  From what I can tell, non-iPhone users are still receiving my text messages from my number like regular.  If I turn iMessage OFF, I'm sending regular text messages to all users.  Anyone have a fix yet?  I'm wondering if this was an Apple goof that won't be resolved until the next iPhone update.

How to unlink iMessage from phone number?
location: apple.com - date: May 17, 2013
I recently switched over from iPhone 4 to a Samsung Galaxy S4. I used the iPhone for 2 years with iMessage on. I no longer use the iPhone. I turned off iMessage on my iPhone, I unregistered the iPhone from my Apple account. However my friends and family that own an iPhone with iMessage turned on, everytime they text my number...my new phone doesn't receive the text message. It still shows that my number is iMessage capable with the blue bubbles. And that is weird because I own an Android device now. How do I fix this issue? It's really annoying and I can't receive any texts from those people with iPhones.
