Has anyone, with a carrier who is rolling it out, had RCS messaging enabled on their device? I'm with Vodafone in the UK and it hasn't been enabled for me yet and am unsure if its the device or the fact I'm using LineageOS
No idea about your carrier support, but I think Google enabled it in the stock messenger when they changed the name to Android Messages

Does the integrated messaging app com.android.messaging supports RCS?
This is indeed a very interesting question, and I could not find any mention anywhere.
Since RCS is starting to gain popularity, I think it would be important to have an open source client, but I could not find even a reference implementation.
On networks that support the RCS Universal Profile, and on phones with Google's Android Messages, that app shows additional settings pertaining to RCS. If the builtin Messaging app supports any form of RCS, (and you are looking at the code) you might see some indication of something similar (of course, if you're on a supporting network, you might be able to tell within the app itself (settings, presence indicators, etc)). Anybody out there seen such things from the builtin app?
My LOS 17.1 cannot receive RCS messages - and I don't see any options. But the network supports it. Anyone know how to activate RCS on LOS?
Somewhat of a specific question: I have T-mobile and am wondering if the Nokia 6 (2018) will support RCS if/when T-mobile rolls out support (supposedly this quarter). I'm using Android Messages and do not see the Chat feature in the Advanced settings which would indicate RCS is supported and enabled.
Thanks!
Correct.
RCS is enabled by default and Google Messages will use it and tells you automaticly about the chat function.
For me it took a few hours before Google Massages told me the RCS chat is working now.
So you are on T-Mobile with a Nokia 6.1 and are using RCS? I still don't have any indication it is using RCS.
I switched to Google Messages from Textra assuming RCS would be enabled at some point. It is not but it is on my wife's Pixel 3a. Obviously we are on the same carrier (Consumer Cellular using the AT&T network.) Wondering if anyone using Google Messages has RCS enabled and if so, what carrier?

Bingo! I did not have Carrier Services installed.
Bought from T-Mobile. Seemingly being forced to use the T-Mobile visual voicemail app. Anyone aware of a way to root and re enable native voicemail? Looking at the applications list on the phone it's installed but disabled and greyed out. Thanks T-Mobile....
Visual voicemail doesn't work on the unlocked version either.
Is it totally disabled on the unlocked version? Does the icon even show up in the dialer?
Does wifi calling work on the unlocked version?
WiFi calling works fine. No sign of visual voicemail in dialer, Google Phone from play store, or settings of either app.
This is quite infuriating to me as well, I had visual voicemail in the dialer on my 8 Pro and even if I try to force it I still can't get it to sync with my voicemail on the razr...
Just an FYI for those who are unaware. If you are using Google Messages and have the chat features enabled, make sure you switch it off BEFORE switching phones or phone numbers.
Google's RCS is tied to your number not your phone.
I recently changed my phone# and did not realize that I need to turn off the chat features. It caused a few problems. I didn't realize what was going on until a co-worker said he was getting texts from my old number.
Turn Off RCS "Chat" When You Switch Phones or Else...
Now that Verizon has committed to RCS with Google, the three major US carriers are all onboard. RCS is here (unlike 5G) and will be a big part of your messaging experience going forward, assuming you have an Android phone. And while RCS is great and a big improvement on traditional text...
