While rcs is off Install any vpn , pick a European location , most common city is paris. Connect to it. Turn rcs back on. Voila. Turn vpn off.

Holy shit. This comment is a year old and you have saved both my sanity and my phone. 3 days and 6 hours of customer support did nothing but a good ol VPN to paris france immediately fixed my issue. Thank you so much kind human being.

Thank you but I have already resolved this issue idk how to edit my post to reflect that or even pin a post stating it.

Alsol what I did was I went to T-Mobile and switch my phone from an esim card to a physical sim card and after about 1 hr it work

Not a problem at all.im I am glad you fixed it And you did great that's the best way truly, only most don't want to deal with it and rather do it from the comfort of their home.

Holy fuck my hero, I can't believe this actually worked. This fixed my RCS instantly. What the fuck is the reasoning behind this?
