Apple iMessage / Google RCS de-registration

Users with a phone number previously registered to iMessage or Google RCS must unregister the phone number from those services to message successfully with the Librem 5 or Liberty phone. This is sometimes difficult to diagnose and usually requires communicating out-of-band with friends using iPhones or Android devices once they realize their messages are not being received (or worse, going to someone else, which does happen).

De-register a phone number using these resources:

• iMessage

  • https://selfsolve.apple.com/deregister-imessage/

  • Scroll down to the section “No longer have your iPhone?” and follow the steps.

• Google RCS

  • https://messages.google.com/disable-chat

  • Scroll down to the section “Without your previous device” and follow the steps.

Call waiting

The Librem 5 does not currently support call waiting.
