Hi,

Anyone seem RCS on IOS 18 working on O2 ?

 ( I have IOS Beta installed - wondered what the carrier update will follow to enable this )

Thanks,

Lots of networks around the globe still havent enabled it on IOS, and to be honest, there are quite a few bugs in its current form, so I would anticipate been in the RC in a few weeks.. 

Best place to keep upto date on the IOS Beta's both Public and Dev is macrumors.com and the forum their...

After speaking with o2 today they have not updated on rcs for iphone but knowing o2 we most likely get it turned on either today or couple days after

I wouldn't expect customer services to know anything about RCS, and IOS 18 is released tonight at 6pm to the non beta users.,..  

So anything is possible, but EE is the only UK network so far to have done anything with it

I'd be tempted to move to EE for the better network speed and coverage to get RCS and better support for iPhone, the only isse is they're so expensive compared to O2 😞

[madasaf1sh]

They are indeed, and in some places not as good as o2, and from reading another forum, EE like o2 and the others seem to split people and there feelings.. 

But it looks like Apple have updated there Features guide per network and the only UK Network to have RCS is EE

Although Apple still list Virgin Mobile as an operator

Yep EE have supported it since beta 4 and as we know now from the CEO of mint mobile it's going to take months to implement Rcs support for iOS  as like O2 they arecurrently relying on Google jibe for RCS so I don't expect it any time soon
