At my wit's end with RCS not working... Verizon
Recently switched my entire family line over from T-Mobile to Verizon... I didn't get a new phone (stayed on Pixel 8 Pro) and 4 out the total lines are Samsung Galaxy S26s - and ever since we switched, RCS has not been able to connect for 5 out 7 lines. The only ones that are stick working fine are the iPhones...
Idk how to fix this... I've tried every Reddit method incl. clearing cache, disabling Google chat, resetting network settings, trying IMEI 2, reactivating SIM, deleting the T-Mobile esim, and have been on the phone with multiple support people for hours already... How do I even know if it will work if I turn off RCS for 3 days (the last thing support said to try). For reference this is my 5th day with my phone (which is not a new phone - still the same phone I was using) and for the rest of my family they have all switched to new phones - so I have 5 out of 7 total lines that all have the RCS issue.
My account manager has said things repeatedly like oh this is an easy fix, these support people will fix it within 30 min... If you go to a store they will be able to fix it immediately... Oh only the Pixel 8 Pro will have this problem, the rest of your phones will be fine (they weren't)...
Nothing is working... I've never had so many issues switching to a carrier before and I've done ATT to T-Mobile and vice versa... And I don't even know if I should cancel this whole Verizon plan because returning the phones will be $50 per line...
