[WPCentral Question]

i have a lumia 535 and can not receive texts from an iphone

i have an iphone and have bought a windows lumia 535 it is on a seperate network and has a different number, but it will not accept texts from apple iphones, i have done a sim swap thinking it could be the sim and spent hours in the apple store for them to try and resolve the issue, my wife and children have iphones they can call me i can call them, i can text them but they can not reply or send a text to me.

turn off iMessage on your iPhone.
