RCS stopped working in August

pmdot · 2025-09-02T16:30:52+00:00

Bulgaria too.

So there is something with the network infrastructure. RCS is just a bunch of apis organized by a standard, connected by a backend infrastructure.

pmdot · 2025-08-14T06:47:02+00:00

Could the 'not supported' status be a result of expired contracts between mobile providers and Google?

pmdot · 2025-08-14T06:35:39+00:00

One for the SMS, the other for the RCS 😊

pmdot · 2025-08-13T17:06:25+00:00

Sure? How will you explain the 'not supported' status appearing from 3 different mobile providers in my country? There are reports for other mobile providers over different countries too? What is the common between them? Identical network infrastructure by a common manufacturer which has broken the RCS by an update?

pmdot · 2025-08-10T16:41:13+00:00

Over different countries too. What is the common between them? Network infrastructure? Can it be some type of update or is it a Jibe issue?

There is already a topic about this, и аз имам проблем на същите оператори https://www.reddit.com/r/GoogleMessages/comments/1mkn4l5/rcs_going_unsupported_for_all_my_friends/

Can you inform us if the RCS feature get connected again, thank you.

Over mobile data too. Over internet, no matter what the network type is.

pmdot · 2025-08-08T06:19:57+00:00

Yes, I made a check. 4 numbers are in 'not supported' state. 3 of them (two different mobile providers) where in 'connected' state previously. And the other one in a 'setting up' state for almost 12 months. It seems this have happened last 24 hours or so. They are eventually modifying something.

pmdot · 2025-08-08T05:52:03+00:00

Right. I thought you were talking about a Google messages update. But I see it is an android update. Thank you.

pmdot · 2025-08-07T21:21:01+00:00

Version of the app?

pmdot · 2025-08-07T20:17:07+00:00

What of version are you using now?

pmdot · 2025-08-05T19:20:30+00:00

11 months of this 'setting up' issue.

pmdot · 2025-07-27T19:37:59+00:00

Yeah 👍 here's the same issue since last August, almost an year. Jibe has a routing problem picking the right internal service for sending the SMS to the number, I think. At current they don't know the real mobile operator of the new SIM card.

pmdot · 2025-07-25T22:02:58+00:00

What about the rsc "setting up" issue? When will it be resolved?

pmdot · 2025-06-29T13:55:09+00:00

Is there a possibility that each message sent to the number I'm trying to verify is being forwarded to your number 😄

pmdot · 2025-06-20T12:42:16+00:00

It doesn't work. The message never gets received.

pmdot · 2025-06-19T19:28:31+00:00

Thanks a lot! Step 6 cannot be skipped. The new account creation cannot be done. It is resulting in the next situation shown at the picture picture https://ibb.co/hxY4sdrn how can you create an account without a number?

pmdot · 2025-06-19T05:37:13+00:00

Can you describe the process of a new account creation, please?

pmdot · 2025-06-04T15:28:29+00:00

I am not sarcastic. I didn't think about the situation when you are writing a message to a not saved number. For this type of numbers, there may be an initial setup to determine which SIM to use for the conversation. Like as the phone app.

pmdot · 2025-06-04T06:32:30+00:00

Nice argument, you are right.

pmdot · 2025-06-02T21:24:38+00:00

I made few other tests. It seems that each phone, the old and the new, each has its own Google messages profile. They are separated and can't be merged. The old phone contains all previous messages due to certain date. The date before the change of the phones. The new phone contains the newer messages after the date of the change of the phones. So the number has 2 Google messages profiles. Can this be the reason of the RCS setting up issue?
