RCS messaging on iOS 18

When will Vodafone turn on RCS messaging for iOS Apple iPhones

Hello, @anthp. I hope you're well. 

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.

Vodafone is supporting RCS already in other European countries, c'mon, get your act together!!

So off to Spain Wednesday will I be able to try Rcs when I’m there?

Any updates on this,  it’s been a long time since keep an eye on the website.

Completely agree.   The "keep an eye on the website" comment was 5 months ago.   No news on anything.
