Topping tech headlines over the weekend, Apple finally released an online tool that lets you deregister texts trapped in iMessage purgatory.
If you switch phone platforms without switching off iMessage, those messages will still be sent to your old phone.

If you still have your old iPhone, navigate to Settings > Messages, and switch off iMessage.
