RCS messaging problems

[PatS]

Recently left O2 SIM only contract. Joined ASDA mobile on SIM only contract. Having problems connecting RCS with ASDA, is it connected to the service provider, should I have done something to the settings before leaving O2, tried all information for connecting gathered from the internet, but to no avail....any suggestions. Thank you

I dont think RCS is available on Asda Mobile, as it has to be provided by the host network, the best people to ask are Asda Mobile themselves.. 

As there is nothing to be done when leaving o2

ASDA does have RCS

Try deleting the cache and then deleting Messages before rebooting the phone and reinstalling.

Did you keep your number or get a new one?

I recently left O2 and PAC transferred to Lebara. I couldn't get RCS to work on my transferred number on Lebara for days after I ported across. Eventually I deactivated RCS via the bottom of this webpage - https://messages.google.com/disable-chat 

And then after 30 days tried to activate RCS again it activated straight away (previously it was stuck on verifying number).

Think it might only be on Android, as VF and VF MVNO's dont have RCS on iPhones or didn't in October..
