Hello.
I have a pretty annoying problem.
I recently sold my iPhone (upgraded to a S3, never been happier about an upgrade). This means all of my iPhone friends no longer can send SMS messages to me due to iMessage. My phone number is still connected to iMessage. I've tried disabling iMessage on all my macs, on my iPad and even inserting the SIM into my iPad and disabling it again. None of this fixes my problem.
This has caused some annoyances in my life where friends think I'm being a prick not responding to their SMSes, and the same with me and the people not responding to my SMSes.
I've removed my iPhone from my "Apple products" page, which solved some other persons problems. Didn't solve mine.
I've heard "insert your SIM into a friends' iPhone and disable iMessage". I kinda won't do that due to principles.
So, is there an official way of actually switching phone from an iPhone to another brand without messing up your social life? (It should be possible without turning off iMessage BEFORE selling your iPhone.)
