How to get rid off iMessage?

Hi, I recently moved from an iPhone to a galaxy s3 and now all my friends can't message me because it goes through as an iMessage I can send them a message but not the other way round, they want to keep the iMessage turned on for other people in their contacts who have iPhone does anyone have any idea in how to make so I can receive their messages in green instead of the blue iMessage. I know how to turn off in settings but that's not what I'm asking cheers

  • Should I get rid of my iPhone and get a basic phone? I've had an iPhone for 2 years, and my contract runs out 9/2/12, should I get a 4s or a Pantech Jest 2? I want to save my dad money, and all I really use my iPhone for is music and Facebook. My friends say I should stick with my iPhone, but I don't know… Share your input, thanks
  • IPhone can't send iMessage to iPod touch user with iMessage? At random times, whenever I try to iMessage my friend who has just a iPod Touch, where you type in the message will say "Text Message" instead of "iMessage." is there a way to fix this so it will always send as a iMessage instead of Text?
  • IMessage won't send to another iPhone with iMessage? So my iMessage works to all my friends that have iMessage except one friend in particular. He has iMessage on his phone and can iMessage all his friends but he can't iMessage me. We both have iMessage turned on on our phones but they simply will not iMessage each other.
  • How to send an SMS instead of iMessage, without turning iMessage off? Is there any way to send SMS's by default to one certain contact whom has an iPhone, while leaving iMessage on? My friend doesn't receive my iMessages even though he has an iPhone so I've been turning iMessage off to text him regularly then turning it back on because I contact others using iMessage. But I just realized it charges me a little bit every time I turn iMessage back on. So is there a way to send an SMS instead of and iMessage without turning it on and off?
