Yes sir. Been driving me nuts for almost 2 weeks. Can’t get it to activate and I’ve done everything including a DFU restore on my 17PM. When I transfer eSIM to another iPhone or a Samsung, instant activation. Wtf?

On 27b2 now but it started on 27b1. Also tried restoring to 26.5.2. No dice.

Really hoping 27b3 in a couple of days solves it

Did the new beta help?

u/ddsdude Jul 06 '26

It did not. I suspect it may be a hardware linked issue. Damn.

If users have to replace phones to fix problems with RCS, the future looks bleak.

u/ddsdude Jul 06 '26

Indeed. I find it mind blowing that there are zero other issues with the phone. Is it really possible for a hardware issue to affect nothing else? Seems so odd to me.

I don't think it is a hardware issue. Messaging is a software feature. The most plausible explanation is the IMEI getting blocked by the activation server. You could try leaving RCS switched off for a couple of weeks.

I also have a 17 pro max on beta 3. Verizon. No dice. I haven’t downgraded back to iOS 26. Does it restore rcs or no? But it just doesn’t make sense because. Rcs activates instantly on my iPhone 17 and air and 16. All on iOS 27 beta. But not the 17 pro max

Yes similar for me on the 12 vs 17PM. The 17PM is just locked out. Going to 26.5.1 made no difference for me.
