If anyone from Whisper Systems is reading, can you please tell me how I can disassociate my number from a Cyanogenmod installed version of TextSecure in my (now formatted and sold) Nexus 4 and get it working with my no sim Nexus 5 with Google Voice/Hangouts?

Your unregistering options are best summarized here: http://support.whispersystems.org/customer/portal/articles/1...

Sadly, it's been over a year since that post and the modifications to CyanogenMod and TextSecure haven't taken: I'm unable to unregister either CM or TS, using their tools or their website.

Try these:

* https://whispertool.cyanogenmod.org/

* https://github.com/daveio/whisperpush-unregister

Set up TextSecure with the Voice option, then go to Settings -> untick "Push messages". That should perform unregistration, then you can re-register.

Someone should warn cyanogenmod that their SSL cert is expired: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=whispertool.c... (although I guess at 5 months over, it falls squarely into the couldn't-be-bothered bucket)

I went through the steps and unregistered. It looks like it worked. As for the SSL, my hope is that the EFF and Mozilla project will make it easier to deploy https certificates everywhere.

Good luck. When I tried TextSecure about a week ago I couldn't get it to work with Voice. I never received a confirmation.

I just set up TextSecure with my Google Voice number. The SMS failed, but after a couple minutes it went to a fallback verification by phone call that worked. I'm on Lollipop, not sure if that's important.

I tried that, didn't work either. I'm also on Lollipop. I'll give it another try incase it's working now.
