RCS for iOS 18?

[Clever-Trevor]

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

It is enabled and working in 18.2 beta 2

Yes I can confirm on iOS 18.2 Public Beta I now have RCS.

Thank you Three for finally priortitising this.

I spoke to soon … “IMS Status” in Settings has reverted back to ‘Voice & SMS’ only

Still no RCS messaging iOS?  Apple announced this something like a year ago.  It's not as though Three didn't have any warning.  Register your displeasure by moving to EE.  Voting with your wallet is the only customer support language Telcos understand.

Ok to I’ve been on developer iOS 18 since it was announced earlier this year. I’m guessing that three would’ve also upgraded some of their test units to iOS 18 yet we are still waiting for RCS Support when it’s been on android for years. Why do we always have to wait so long for features on three ?

My thoughts exactly. This has been a feature known to be coming in iOS 18 for months now. I’ve been a three customer since before they started offering the iPhone. I stay with them because their customer service has always been great and their coverage in my city is good, so not being ready day one when they’re promoting the iPhone 16 is quite disappointing.

Ever thought about adding an eSIM for EE and trying it that way?

Yet another feature we're getting late (or never)... I'm about ready to ditch and find a new network.

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
