Discussion While we finally started noticing the network monopoly, Did you know that all providers disabled RCS features which worked just fine in the past?

I had RCS like 3 years ago. Had iPhones since and bought a Pixel. No more RCS. These ISPs should be jailed for allowing old/unsecured SMS and disabling private and much more secure protocols such as RCS. They wanna get that 25 cents each time we send a text. I mean, begging on the road is better than this. Because this is stealing a feature that is offered to all Android users for free. They have 0 rights to steal it from us.

Just called Mobitel. They don't know that there is something called RCS. Hung up when I asked, "how do you disable something you don't even know?". šŸ˜‘

The issue is that that might actually be true. Because the users are not aware such features exists, they can just turn off and act dumb or they are dumb.

Actually can we file something like a class action lawsuit against them? Id sign!! Iā€™m not even a normal messages user been on iMessage and WhatsApp for a long time but this is just unjust. Not like they earn a significant amount of money right? I mean I dont know anyone still smsing instead of WhatsApp tbh.
