Seeing as currently only EE (BT) support RCS chat on iOS I thought it'd be a good idea to create this thread so we can keep up to speed with any developments from the other 3x MNO's.
It's interesting but I do think you could be right with Vodafone being next up out of the big MNO's. Little ironic considering only last year Vodafone turned off it's carrier own RCS services hahaSince it will probably be quite a while before there are any updates, I predict that 1p Mobile may be the first MVNO to support it. As for which of the main networks will be next, that's harder but I'm going to gamble on Vodafone,![]()
Yeah, I'd love to know if the same people that shut it down, now have to re-implement it.It's interesting but I do think you could be right with Vodafone being next up out of the big MNO's. Little ironic considering only last year Vodafone turned off it's carrier own RCS services haha
It doesn't work.has anyone tried with a 1p SIM? I would expect it to "just work"
VF have told me they are not planning on supporting RCS on iOS.It's interesting but I do think you could be right with Vodafone being next up out of the big MNO's. Little ironic considering only last year Vodafone turned off it's carrier own RCS services haha
VF have told me they are not planning on supporting RCS on iOS.
If enough people write in by post to the CEOs of each of those companies, i.e. VF, o2 and Three, that could help them change their mind.I have a feeling this will happen to o2 and Three as well, as why support the current implementation by Apple, which as we have discussed in the other RCS thread, is just a compliance release as Chinese Regulation means if Apple want to sell any devices in China they have to implement RCS
I hope I am wrong...
Apple are being malicious let's see how long that lasts.Saw this coming a mile off. If apple was going to use RCS on carrier side they should have supported it back when it started for android in 2016.
Three won't ever support it.
They've flipped it on the carriers like they always do.Apple are being malicious let's see how long that lasts.
unless that's from a person who would actually make that decision, I probably wouldn't place much stock in it.VF have told me they are not planning on supporting RCS on iOS.
You might get more of a response from general.enquiries at cma.gov.uk, though they might point out that it's up to the carrier and Apple is not preventing them from enabling it.Anyone feeling particularly aggrieved by Apple on this issue (or any issue) can email:

Who at Vodafone? CS? IF so they’re not likely to know until it’s ready.VF have told me they are not planning on supporting RCS on iOS.
The supervisor at a call centre knows about as much as you or I.Fairly high.
Apple are being what? They have left the decision to enable RCS up to individual carriers. EE/BT have decided to go for it from day one (or technically earlier than that as it was enabled in the betas). Others will make their own decision.Apple are being ......
Hardly. Google ended up having to provide their own hosted RCS services due to global disinterest and/or implementation issues from mobile operators. Why should anyone be surprised to find that mobile operators are still disinterested?Apple are being malicious let's see how long that lasts.
Yeah but O2 have said back on the 10th "We are working to ensure that RCS is available for all our customers as soon as possible"If enough people write in by post to the CEOs of each of those companies, i.e. VF, o2 and Three, that could help them change their mind.
Well Vodafone are claiming that they need Google approval to implement RCS on iOSSince it will probably be quite a while before there are any updates, I predict that 1p Mobile may be the first MVNO to support it (I regard EE and BT as the same thing despite Apple listing BT as an MVNO). As for which of the main networks will be next, that's harder but I'm going to gamble on Vodafone.![]()
