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.

EDIT - Read Emelies link above for o2's own info.

 

This is not o2 switching anything on. Google is using their own servers to enable RCS features as long as you use Google's Messages app, they have said once the network updates to support it natively they will hand back over. There's lots of articles about it but this one from XDA is quite good at explaining it - https://www.xda-developers.com/google-android-rcs-support-uk-france/

 

So don't blame o2 if it showed up and then didn't or if anything went wrong with it, this is nothing to do with o2, this is Google, I personally have had no problems whatsoever, the feature showed for me, took around ten minutes to verify my number, and has worked ever since, my best friend is on Vodafone and it works sending to her as "chat" instead of SMS tells me when she's typing if she's read my messages etc and any "chat" messages are in a darker blue bubble than the SMS ones.

I’m reading that there’s a way to switch RCS on with a few presses here and there.. And it’s going on general release before the end of the year...

Quite excited, might mean I can dump Apple!!

Currently in use on O2 with my One Plus 6 which includes SMS over WiFi.
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Currently using:
Pixel 7a (O2 & Lyca), One Plus 6 (Sfr), iPhone 12 Pro Max (Vodafone)

I know this is an old topic but I have now noticed that where Google Messages used to say Chat features provide by Jibe Mobile it now says Chat features are provided by your mobile operator.
