If you’ve moved on from the iPhone, and you find your SMS messages disappearing into the ether still, there’s a good chance that your phone number is still attached to the iMessages service.

The new web page, published over the weekend by Apple, will walk you through the steps of turning iMessages off entirely, and then removing your phone number from the iMessage database. The process is as simple as turning off the service, and then putting your phone number into a web form.
The process is quite simple. Head here to figure it out.
