Can't verify phone number for RCS in Google Messages on a Galaxy Z Fold 3.

Greetings,

 

Google messages has been stuck on "verifying phone number" for days now after I factory reset my phone and logged into my Google account. I've also observed other odd behaviors:

  • When clicking on settings>Google>all services>phone number verification the phone will try to load something and then just display a retry button again and again.
  • When trying to change Google Account settings in system settings no personal info can be changed. It'll prompt me for my PIN and fingerprint but just go back to the previous screen after providing that info. It'll claim I'm offline even with a perfect connection. The only way I've been able to change account info is though the Chrome browser itself on Google's website.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

OK so I just finished disabling RCS on my iPhone and uninlinking the number but no dice. Now Google messages says I've reached my maximum number of verifications for today and to try again tomorrow. Google phone verification in system settings is also erroring out still.

Try again tomorrow, also try clear set samsung messages as default instead of Google messages, then go to Google Messages clear cache and data and switch back to Google and see if that might help

From my personal experience with this issue. Just leave it, the more attempts to try to verify will make the time for it to connect even longer. Could take up to 10 to 14 days to connect. Just leave it, it will connect by itself.

This is what I'm going to do at this point. Every troubleshooting steps I've tried even from Google haven't worked.

I tried this earlier but it didn't work sadly. Another thing I noticed is that I'm unable to deregister my phone number from Google RCS as part of troubleshooting. I never get the 2FA code yet I get all my other texts just fine. Something is seriously wrong with my Google Account I feel yet all the info I checked looks correct to me.

I did disable my number through this link for RCS. As I was one who forgot to turn it off on my s23 ultra. So once I put my sim in my new s25 ultra I was also stuck on setting up. After I disabled my number it was around 7 days it finally connected.

How long did it take to disable your number through that link ? I can't seem to get the 6 digit code
