Hi community,
sadly enough my iPhone got stolen, but when my friends message me their phones keep trying to send me iMessages. Obviously my friends have checked that their phones won't send normal SMS when I'm not available on iMessage, so I end up receiving nothing until they manually say "Send via SMS".
For I won't have an iPhone within the next months I want iMessage to be turned off, so I will get normal SMS from my lucky iPhone friends.
Anyone got an idea?
Is it possible to "unlink" iMessage from my phonenumber / mailadress?
Thanks for your help.

There are only three ways I know of to stop this: 1. Put your sim card(which I know you don't have) into another iPhone & turn iMessage off; 2. If you registered this phone on Apple'a support site, under your profile, you can login & remove the phone; 3. Have your friends turn iMessage off when messaging you.

If you registered your phone with Apple, try unregistering it:

I guess you are right that unlinking it from my account will be the only way. I haven't done that yet cause you know it's that last "step" to really accept I won't get it back. Until now, having it registered with my Apple Account, I thought "it's still mine, whenever it turns up again I can prove that it's my phone".
Will try to unlink it after noting all the details and making screenshots ![]()
Thanks again!
