Re: iPhone wil not send an RCS message after updating to iOS 18
UPDATE: have since upgraded to an iPhone 16 Pro Max. the same situation. exsits. none of the recommended troubleshooting tactics work. The customer service rep even told me to take it to the store to get a warranty exchange. I told him that happened on the 13 Pro Max as well therefore it's not the phone. My Niece's and Sister's iPhones has RCS working fine. my line is the problem. It shows that they aren't too knowledgeable about fixing the problem, and don't have any real solution for this problem. so I am just going to switch carriers.521Views0likes0CommentsRe: iPhone wil not send an RCS message after updating to iOS 18

Didn’t work the first time I tried it, so 🤷. Can even do group chats with mixed iOS and Android devices, which is a first. And Android users no longer get an error message saying I’m “off line” when they text me. Glad it worked for you. It didn’t work for me after 3 attempts.336Views0likes0CommentsRe: iPhone wil not send an RCS message after updating to iOS 18
This is happening with other carriers as well. However I did speak with a T-Mobile rep on my last attempt to fix it and they said it’s them and that they need to still do software updates so RCS can work with older iPhones. That I don’t believe because I installed iOS 18 on a friends iPhone XR and RCS is working fine. I am starting think that it is the E-SIM itselfand nothing else. Only way if I will know is when I upgrade from this phone to a newer iPhone (no time soon). They being said, I gave up on trying to fix it. It’s not a nice or death situation and most of the people I keep up with uses WhatsApp, signal or iMessage anyway. Also they all didn’t know RCS existed.643Views1like0CommentsRe: iPhone wil not send an RCS message after updating to iOS 18

Did you wait the 10 minutes before restarting, which would allow your device to completely drop off of the network? Yes I waited like 15 minutes, restarted and then turned the ESIM back on and it didn’t resolve the issue.153Views0likes0CommentsRe: iPhone wil not send an RCS message after updating to iOS 18

I was marked as the correct answer for some reason No it did not work for me. I marked it as correct answer by mistake whilst swiping at my screen.58Views0likes0CommentsRe: iPhone wil not send an RCS message after updating to iOS 18

I was anticipating trying out the RCS messaging feature, I discovered right away that it isn’t allowing rcs messages to be sent or received. in order to try to resolve the issue I went and searched for solutions. I have tried, restarting the phone, toggling on and off airplane mode, and resetting network settings. NONE of these solutions worked. last thing I did was I checked for a carrier updated and it is up to date. I further checked the IMS status and it shows that only voice and sms is allowed, and RCS is missing. knowing that is under E-SIM, I knew it had to do with T-mobile. I have called T-Mobile customer care 3 times. the first call, they weren’t knowledgeable on the subject of RCS. eventually I was transferred to a “Tech Specialist” that created a trouble ticket. a second call to see If I could get a knowledgeable customer service rep and I was referred to Apple suspecting it was a software problem. Apple refers me back to T-mobile stating that they don’t have control over the RCS working on the network and that is the issue of T-Mobile. attempt 3 with T-Mobile consisted of deleting my E-SIM and downloading a new one, which did not fix the RCS unavailability fiasco. I was suggested that I do a factory reset or a settings reset but at this point I don’t think this the problem. Has anyone experienced this problem? if so have you resolved it? whad did you do? if it is all about IMS allowing RCS, how did you fix that? thanks in advance. I solved it!!!! I’ve gotten rcs to work on my iPhone 16 pro. Go to cellular turn off your e sim or physically remove it. Wait 10 minutes. Restart device. Then go turn it back on. Tried it and still no dice.13Views0likes0CommentsRe: iPhone wil not send an RCS message after updating to iOS 18

As for “messsge features rolling out to older devices” I just updated a friend’s iPhone XR to iOS 18 and that phone is sending RCS messages without a problem. The IMS status shows that RCS is capable. On my IPhone 13 Pro Max the IMS status doesn’t show RCS is capable even though the RCS toggle is turned on in iMessage. What shows up in IMS matters.All iPhones capable of receiving IOS, have the same messaging capability. No problem for me on both 14 pro and new 16 pro. I can confirm: Messages settings has RCS enabled Carrier IMS status shows all three - Voice, SMS, and RCS Doesn’t look like Tmobile is the problem since Android phones have been using RCS for some time now. I think Apple is giving you the run around if it’s not working. It has been confirmed that it is the carrier. Just because Android had it for some years doesn’t mean it is Apple. Case in point there are some Android phones that have had the same issue. Its my ims and carrier I reset my eSIM but still not working I did the same thing and that didn’t work either. In a 4th attempt after they allegedly filed a trouble ticket, I was told that it was a software update issue on their (T-Mobile) end that is causing the issue. Makes no sense but whatever.13Views0likes0Comments
