Hey guys. I have an iPhone 4S, and just bought a new Android phone.

A fair chunk of my family uses iPhones, iPads, and iPods, so I was planning on keeping the iPhone for iMessage and Facetime. However, my texts from said family (at least the ones using iPhones) are being sent as iMessages to the iPhone, instead of my new phone.

I'm wondering if there is a way to disable iMessage/FaceTime on my iPhone for the phone number, but leave it active for the email addresses. Or if anybody knows of any other ways to achieve what I'm trying to do. I'll jailbreak if I need to.

So, thoughts? Thanks guys and gals!
 
You can set it to send from your iCloud address. This way you can send and receive from all your iOS devices and Mac.
