DeletedUser177 didn't read it all but I think you are wrong on many points. No, it can work while connected to Wifi, it can work while connected to VPN, with exploit protections on, I didn't install the beta version of Messages, nor Carrier Services

      Thanks for the detailed post - I went through everything listed here step by step
      I keep seeing the following throughout the log once I am activating RCS:

      RcsProvisioningManager: getSimIdFromSubId for subId: 1 returned no mapping.
      BugleSelfIdentity: Rcs is NOT_AVAILABLE for SelfIdentity. [CONTEXT sub_id=1 rcs_availability="13"

      Not entirely sure where to go from here.

          IamZorro it is long but saying you didn't read it then say I'm wrong is interesting. The mere point of not using WiFi and VPN is too reduce the amount of variables that may cause RCS to not register. I have seen people's log show"Wifi is on" and caused no Registration before. Yes you can try to perform this with wifi or VPN on but this will not work for ALL carriers. This is mean to be a more universal approach then an outlier approach. If you had a more thorough understanding of how IMS registration worked you'd see why I recommend this. Some carriers require to know your precise location for Emergency Services in order for registration to occur similar to know wifi calling works.

              DeletedUser177 Yes you can try to perform this with wifi or VPN on but this will not work for ALL carriers.

              I think this is the key point. It seems clear that different carriers are (at present) requiring different verification steps. Over time maybe more of them will converge on requiring many invasive things. If so maybe that will succeed in killing RCS!

                DeletedUser177 Thank you very much for posting all that. I was able to get RCS working again after just following steps 1-4. Incredible how many variables must be considered.

                  Just upgraded to a Pixel 9, followed all steps and still no dice, definitely interested in any other alternatives @DeletedUser177

                  I noticed you mentioned not to install it in a secondary profile. I'm using the owner profile as an admin account so I'm wondering... would it be possible to only set up RCS for the second account?

                  Based on some quick searches I did before the switch to GOS, there was information that lead me to believe that RCS would work across multiple profiles. What I was hoping to do is have 3 profiles (admin, personal and work). I only need RCS to work on personal and work profiles. Am I out of luck?

                  Thanks!!

                    Your genius is showing! I literally couldn't have done it without your insight!! Thank you so much for helping me through this!!! I took your information about switching back to the stock messenger and then I looked at the permissions of the google messages app. I noticed that all of the settings I had set when it was default had changed. I edited the settings to what they should be and then switch back to that being the default and RCS activated! You really shed some light on the issue and for that I am eternally grateful.

                        Thank you for sharing this. This is why I fucking love the GrapheneOS community. Everyone just wants to help each other learn more.

                        So I did all the above steps and now I am stuck on the verification of my number. Specifically, "Setting up..." Trying to verify. Anyone got a work around for this?

                        Were you able to get it working in a secondary profile? Or just the Owner?

                          he probado todo y mi telefono sigue con mensajes RCS que no funcionan, me arroja el mensaje de "No se detecta ninguna tarjeta SIM compatible con este dispositivo", no se que ocurre, he desinstalado la app Mensajes de Google, la volvi a instalar, borre los datos y cache, borre datos y cache de servicios y comunicaciones del operador...tambien los de PlayStore y de los servicios Google Play....y todo sigue igual, me encuentro perdido, y soy un usuario "avanzado"

                          Gracias a todos de antemano!

                          I've tried everything, and my phone still has RCS messages that don't work. It's giving me the message "No SIM card compatible with this device is detected." I don't know what's going on. I've uninstalled the Google Messages app, reinstalled it, cleared the data and cache, cleared the data and cache of the carrier's services and communications... also the Play Store and Google Play services... and everything remains the same. I'm lost, and I'm an "advanced" user.

                          Thanks to everyone in advance!

                            amuq Hey, I've been encountering this too. Did you ever find a solution or workaround?

                              hasta ahora nada.... sigo igual, imagino que alguna actualizacion lo resolvera, al igual que creo que una de las ultimas actualizaciones causo el error

                              So far nothing.... I'm still the same, I imagine that some update will solve it, just as I think that one of the last updates caused the error.
