When will RCS be supported?

Hi [user=4402]Hikari[/user] In the Chat Features settings did it ever get to saying "Connected"? RCS will automatically fall back to SMS if it can't connect via RCS (either because the sender can't connect to RCS or because the recipient can't) -- it's a lot like Apple iMessage in that respect. I will suggest to my parents to try that though... Thanks!

Hello [user=4402]Hikari[/user] These are my parent's devices and I will not be with them for a couple of weeks, so I will probably leave them without RCS in preference to risk to their devices, but this is useful information I will try once we are together in the same place. Thanks!

Hello [user=67]Kash[/user] Thanks for your response. They are both using Samsung A40 hand sets, with Google Messages ([url=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.messaging]https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.messaging[/url]) installed in order to try and use the Google deployed RCS/Chat service ([url=https://9to5google.com/2019/07/27/google-messages-rcs-uk-france/]https://9to5google.com/2019/07/27/google-messages-rcs-uk-france/[/url]). They have recently moved from Vodafone, where they had been using the Vodafone provided RCS service and would like to continue to use RCS. The issue seems to be a bug in Google Messages, preventing it from being able to verify the devices own telephone number in the scenario where the SIM had a temporary number assigned before using a PAC to port another telephone number. I have been told that if the network provisions a network refresh this will resolve the issue. Normally this would b

[quote=Hikari]Update https://www.phonearena.com/news/Googles-RCS-Chat-rolled-out-in-UK-and-France_id117775 Rollout of RCS messaging has been completed in UK and anyone with supported handset can use it. It is not carrier specific as Google will handle all themselves. Only drawback at this moment is lack of end to end encryption.[/quote] In theory this should work on any handset in the UK, but I have observed that handsets that have had a temporary number before main telephone number was ported cannot finish set up to connect to Google servers, as the although the ported number works perfectly for the iDmobile network, the telephone itself does not know the correct number it has (and any information entered by the user is ignored). It seems that this can be fixed with a "Network Refresh" which will update the information the telephone holds about it's own telephone number. Can anyone confirm if they have successfully been able to request such a network refresh from iDmobile? I hav
