With more and more providers starting to roll out RCS across the world. I'm just wondering if O2 have announced if they will be rolin it out across the uk any time soon.

Yes, let's indeed hope they do Matt0801.
If o2 have no immediate plans to support RCS then I will simply move to a provider that will. I have 8 months left on my contact ...so if you wish to keep me I suggest you better get RCS rolling out soon o2.

You might be right with O2 not caring losing a few people not rolling out RCS as the hype build up but thats the issue with O2 then are stuck in the wait for everyone else to do it then may just then look in to doing it when they will miss out on all the hype they would get with being early to the game. I'm with everyone else where will be loking for a new phone in october time and if theres another network with RCS by then I will most likely move.

RCS currently works well on the Vodafone network here in the UK. Android Messages as well as Samsung's own messages app are compatible. Once you message it automatically detects whether the person you are texting is on the vodafone network and has either Android Messages or Samsung Messages installed with the advanced features. If it succesfully detects it shows up as chat message (rcs) in the text box and will send messages/images/videos over a data connection, along with provided delivered and read receipts, if not it shows as text messages (sms).
I just hope all the other MNO's including o2 quickly enable this feature as will prove to be very useful...
