RCS CHAT STUCK

[gwarn]

my rcs is stuck on setting up its been 3 days and i click verify everyday.

Any way to fix this

[Fiona26]

Best thing to do is just to leave it. Could take up to 10 to 14 days may be sooner. It will eventually connect just got to be patient.

[gwarn]

will it 100% connect though?

[Fiona26]

100% it will, I was stuck on setting up when I changed over to the s25 ultra. Just over a week it finally connected. Also had the same issue in the past.

I've had issues with RCS before, slightly different to your description. The fix was to ensure you've turned OFF the feature on your old device first. The feature is linked to your phone number and struggles when two devices are registered. Worth checking at least.

i haven't changed device but ported in an old number to a new sim

[SteveBish]

Actually that's exactly the issue I've had before.

For me, the new SIM had a dummy number assigned prior to the port. After the port completed, some recipients (can't be sure, but may have been the RCS ones) received my texts from the dummy number.

On one occasion, I needed to have another new SIM sent out.

Probably worth waiting (as Fiona suggested) before crossing that bridge though.

[gwarn]

so there's a possibility that I could lose my original number

[SteveBish]

No, you'll keep it. I never lost my number. Give it a week and contact the provider of your new SIM if it still doesn't activate correctly.

This was a while ago for me, but the memory is slowly returning.

Try putting the old SIM in your phone. Check the RCS setting. If it's on, turn it off. Then put the new new SIM back in and try again.
