How to Enable RCS on iPhone with iOS 18 https://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-enable-rcs-messaging-on-iphone-to-text-android-users-3482571/#2

Fundamentally iMessage is an internet-based service that delivers your
messages via Apple's servers which means it doesn't work most of the time unless you have all the myriad requirements (and which is why most of the
world shuns Apple devices as only working in the richest countries).

RCS, on the other hand, is a carrier-based service and works everywhere the carrier supports it (without needing the net just to do anything useful).

In other words, if you want it to work, don't use the Apple walled garden.

Worse, the article explains that Apple (again!) murdered privacy, saying:
"Apple warns that user identifiers are exchanged for your carrier
and their partners to authenticate your device and provide a
connection for RCS messaging. "These identifiers could include
but are not limited to your IMEI, IMSI, current IP address,
and phone number. Your current IP address might also be shared
with other RCS users," the company notes."

Apple mostly sells to people who do not understand the technology.

Nobody needs such inferior "carrier services".
iPhone user prefer iMsg with the beautiful dark blue bubbles or another messenger service but certainly not such crap like RCS which breaks all encryptions or even doesn't have any.

*LOL*

False:

'RCS has been designed as an industry open standard[2][3] to provide
improved capabilities over basic text messaging, based on the Internet Protocol (IP).'

'Network dependency. A key difference between RCS and SMS is that SMS
sends messages over the cellular network, while RCS content requires
data connectivity before it can be transmitted.'

And carrier services will not suffice.

RCS REQUIRES internet access.

A message going through Apple's system has ten times the requirements of
that same message going through just the carrier's services.

For one, it requires an account on Apple's servers, which nobody on Android would need - and which is used by Apple to provide others with your data.

Apple reports every year how many people they ratted out for example
because of those additional overhead accounts above carrier services.

Give a single example of Apple providing user data to others.

Any messaging service requires you to have an account, doofus.

Hi Ant,

The fact is, no operating system murders privacy like iOS does, Ant.

You're not an Apple zealot so I'll just let you know that you do not need
to have an account on Google's servers to send messages on an Android phone
but you DO need to have an account (which nobody wants) on Apple's servers
to send a message using Apple's messaging system.

That is why Apple's messaging system horrendously murdered privacy.

The ignorant Apple zealots don't even realize this huge privacy hole due to
the required account which they "think" Android requires - but they're
wrong.

The Apple zealots who equate the Apple mothership tracking account to a
Google mothership tracking account have no idea there's no account needed
on the Google servers. In a word, those Apple zealots are stupid.

Only Apple requires that mothership account.

No other operating system is designed to murder privacy like iOS is.

Do you notice how he just pivoted from RCS to sending messages on an
Android phone...

...with SMS?
