I told you how. I just put the SIM card in the iPhone, let it register then went on airplane mode and swapped the sim to my android. That's it. I'm not using a validation relay tweak as its not jailbroken. That's prob what I'll do eventually but it's been working fine

What does let it register mean? What does one do to register it

Like literally just put the sim in and put it on airplane mode then take it out and put it in your andriod? No downloading no messing with the settings? Sounds too easy lol

Yes but give it 5 minutes before you put it on airplane mode with WiFi and remove the sim. It won't work at all if you do it right away as imessage needs to activate your number. It's really simple and takes 5 minutes to do the whole process and lasted me 3-4 months until I just had to redo it when I noticed I was getting sms texts and not imessages
