Unnecessarily dismissive. The OP has said [1] that he dissociated his number from iMessage and people who text him from iPhones are not getting through to him.

Unnecessarily dismissive.
The OP has said [1] that he dissociated his number from iMessage and people who text him from iPhones are not getting through to him. That is problematic if you want to receive text messages on a non Apple phone.
It would seem he wrote in his blog in order to get help or bring it to a wider attention.

- JimmaDaRustla 12y agoNo reference made to this in the article. The solution is there however, Apple just needs to fix their iMessage software to properly disassociate the number with iMessage. Again, like my unnecessarily down voted comment suggested, unlike this blog suggests, the solution is there, it just doesn't work.

- JimmaDaRustla 12y agoWhen you held your iPhone 4 wrong and the connection dropped, people didn't claim that there was no antenna.
- dragonwriter 12y agoAn antenna is defined by physical characteristics, not whether or not it functions suitably for a given application. A solution is something that solves a problem -- it is only a solution with respect to that problem, and only to the extent that it actually solves it. If it doesn't work, it doesn't solve the problem, and isn't a solution.
