RCS on iPhone gone live

[JBean]

 

RCS has gone live on my phone today by default. Seen plenty of posts regarding this on here so thought I’d mention!

Mine is enabled but when I go in to text an Android user it says SMS instead of RCS.

Hi @navod,

That's odd, I haven't spotted any other reports of this so far. I believe RCS needs to be active on both ends, so it may be worth double checking the Android user also has the feature switched on. If so I'd try switching RCS off and back on from both devices and retesting.

Are you able to test if this is just one Android device you're having trouble contacting by RCS, can you successfully send RCS to other people?

Thanks,
Jonathan

Hello, JBean. 

Nice one, a good few people have been asking about this, so it's good to see it rolling out. Are you on the beta version of iOS? Or a final release?

Could you look into why this isn't activating for me?

Hey @roastspud 

Welcome to the Three Community Page.

Can I check that you are up to do date on the iOS beta software?
