Hello, @anthp. I hope you're well. 

RCS messaging is not something which we currently support. We'd recommend keeping an eye on our website for any updates in the future.

Vodafone does support RCS - they have shutdown their own service and are using Google's service instead as described by this vodafone press release:  https://www.vodafone.com/news/services/vodafone-expands-collaboration-with-google

What is now missing is that Vodafone needs to support RCS for iPhones.   If Vodafone does not support RCS for iPhones, then Vodafone is degrading the capability iPhones in the UK.

This Apple support page shows you which Telcos support RCS in Europe:   https://support.apple.com/en-us/108048 

I hope this helps to clarify the situation.
