I realize WHY this is happening I guess (imessage) but is there a simple way to fix this?

The way IMessage works is that it redirects incoming txts from your phone carrier, and sends it through the internet to your phone. It's a seamless transition. When you are using an Iphone you don't even notice the difference. 6 years ago or so, it was a great idea. People didn't have unlimited txts, so messages from one Iphone to another didn't count towards your txt limit. Now that everyone has unlimited txt, but not unlimited data, it's costing people data usage, and in my opinion, is almost used as a scare tactic/hostage tactic to keep people from switching from ipone to android.

Once you turn off the Imessage feature, it takes a little while for apple's servers to update and get your txts going in the right direction. The good thing is that you still have your old iphone and can read the incoming txts. A lot of times, people buy an android after breaking their iphone or turning it in to their work, and totally miss out on the txts.
