A few weeks ago I switched from an iPhone 4 to the new Nexus. I'm in Canada and I switched carriers as well from Rogers to Bell on a small business plan. My number did not change and my old Rogers service was cancelled when I activated the new phone.
For the most part things have been great with the new phone/service EXCEPT that people with iPhones that send me text messages actually go to my old phone instead of my new one... even though my old phone is not in service!
My best guess is that Apple's systems have decided that I should get iMessages instead of text messages and they're now routing texts to me differently. A few days back I found a setting on my old iPhone to turn off iMessages so I did that. Now instead of messages from other iPhones coming through to my old iPhone most times they just don't send.
I can get a text only message from an iPhone if the user types in the number instead of uses the contact... but even that doesn't work apparently when sending an image via sms.
Very strange issue, I wonder if Apple even knows they're doing this to people that switch from an iPhone (at least in Canada).
Bad Apple, Bad.
