I've been trying to enable RCS chat for a while. I tried everything on an old thread and it still doesn't work. It used to work just fine, until one day it didn't. It never verifies my number. Using cricket wireless.

    Theawfulone looks like RCS is having some issues, there are some workarounds people mentioned in some other threads.
    Btw did you try beeper they say they have RCS support, I haven't trued it and have no idea how its working.

      W1zardK1ng I did a while ago and it worked for like 15 mins then never worked again. Too many hoops to jump through

      W1zardK1ng Beeper RCS requires you to have Google Messages on your phone. I believe they are just using messages web portal to sync messages between the app and google messages as it does not act as a fully fledged sms/rcs client. It's the same with WA and telegram, you essentially need to keep the apps on your phone for them to work (I suppose you could delete the app, but there would be no way for you to recover anything if something goes wrong). Beeper is useful (for me) for insta chat though as it allows me to not have the instagram app on my phone
