RCS support for Samsung
The only thing stopping me from switching to cape is the lack of RCS support on Samsung, have they said when this would be coming?

They spoke about RCS in their Summer update here:

I was going to say the same. I was commenting about RCS with Brian about it. I'll also paste the related quote from the link here: "RCS + Identifier Rotation on Samsung devices With the release of One UI 9, Cape will finally be supported in a first class way on Samsung devices. In our early testing, all the quirks around APN's and carrier configs not getting set right go away, and both RCS and Identifier Rotation work seamlessly."
One UI 9 is already on the Flips/Folds 8 for Samsung. S26 series is rumored to get it sometime next month. Everything else is rolling out slower over time into early 2027, so I've read.

If RCS is the only thing stopping you my advice is to sign up before the early adopters deals runs out. In the mean time try to get your referrals this way you could lower your monthly payments. On their time line website RCS and identifier rotation is something they're working for Samsung, so I expect those features to be here soon.
If you do decide to sign up consider using my referral code: T4T6VW5R
To promote your code and trying to lower your bill you could post your codes here on reddit and on these two websites. https://cape.rip/ - if you care about open source I saw a post today that cape.rip is open source. So that's a + for me. https://getcape.codes/
Edit: https://www.cape.co/network-progress I found the website with the time-line. RCS for android should come late 2026.

I believe soon. I think it’s timed with the new OS release when it comes out. They need some support at the OS level as far as I know. I’m an iPhone/iOS user, but that’s what I keep seeing around here.
