    Okay ​@Simoak, sounds like the Google RCS servers are refusing to recognise your Samsung device is now linked to another mobile number. 

    You could just turn OFF the RCS “Chat features” option in Google Messages, and then wait 8-9 days before turning RCS “Chat features” ON again.

    Hopefully by then the Google RCS servers might recognise your device is linked to a different mobile number.

    Hi ​@Simoak,

    Have you tried turning the phone off for a few minutes, restarting and resetting your network settings?

    However we can check if the port is completed correctly, please feel free to let us know and we can PM you.

    Okay ​@Simoak, glad the correct number is now shown to text message recipients.

    About your device - one of your earlier posts (here) mentioned your Samsung Account.
