Unregister iMessage

flyguy

Might be useful for some. It's now possible to unregister for iMessage even if you don't have the phone anymore.
Useful if you forgot to switch it off when you changed phones or with general iMessage troubles (I assume you can just switch it back on afterwards in that case).

don't understand why you'd need this? Why would you willing move away from iPhone?*

My iMessages aren't working at the moment and I've literally spent the entire day trying to find a solution...my face hurts

Does anybody know if you de-register your number, can you then re-register it? I'm clutching at straws here, first-world problems I know but it's really wrecking my head!

Thanks for that but unfortunately it still hasn't fixed itself

I think it's going back to the weekend when I changed my iCloud password, it seems to have messed everything up now. I've tried literally everything I could find online to try and fix it and eventually even completely reset the phone this morning but no luck. I've never had any problem like this before and the phone is just out of warranty (by a month)- is there anywhere I can take it to have it looked at?

Apologies if this should be somewhere else, I'm just desperate at this stage, it's so annoying!

What exactly happens? Is it not activating? What mobile provider are you with?

Just figured it out...I'm kicking myself.

Obviously when I changed my iCloud password it somehow disassociated my phone number with my iCloud account. As I'm with 48, I have membership rather than credit so it never dawned on me that the verification message wouldn't be covered under my texts (it's a 25c cost to a UK number and I only have Irish texts). Topped up my account by a euro and lo and behold it's back up and running!

Thanks anyway guys, just gonna go and bury myself in the garden in shame
