Hi,
Anyone have or know RCS enabled for IOS 18 on Three ?
( as I am on the beta version & see says ‘Voice & SMS’ - but no RCS! )
Thanks

From what I have read it’s appears only EE has enabled this for iPhone so far. I’m sure once the main update drops three will activate it too.

No, I'm on Beta 6 now and it's still not been activated. Really disappointed that Three is so slow to turn this feature on in iOS 18 in the UK, considering it's supported RCS between Android devices for years. Together with the fact that network coverage in some parts of central London is abysmal, I'm seriously considering changing providers.

I have now updated to iOS 18.0 (22A3354) still no option for RCS. Is three actually going to release this to us?

Hi @Clever-Trevor,
Sorry for the delay on answering this, but I have made some enquiries. We're working with our partners on this, and hope to be able to support this service for our customers soon. Sorry that's as much as I can say for now.
Thanks,
Jonathan

@JonathanB thanks for replying. It’s really lame of Three that it isn’t yet supporting this in the UK even now when the first full release of iOS 18 is out. Not all iPhone users want to use a Meta-owned product to communicate with our Android-using friends.

Don’t hold your breath mate. We’re still waiting for visual voicemail

Hi Jonathan, thanks for feeding back. Can you help me understand the hold-up? The infrastructure exists; it’s as simple as flicking a switch. Why are Three withholding the feature from iPhone?

Three we're 5 years late to even introduce esim. How can we have the confidence that Three won't talk half a decade to introduce a simple protocol like RCS? Jesus

Hello.
RCS is already available on the network. It's been on Android devices for a few years now. The network is working to bring it to iOS as well, but some time will be needed before it's enabled.
Pete.
