Read on Reddit that Verizon is moving forward with this today. A few Verizon Pixel 3/3XL employees were discussing. RCS started working after a Carrier Services(November 30th build date) was pushed to their phones. Wanted to see if anyone received and if they could capture the APK for the rest of the community and to test on the Pixel and Pixel 2?

If you open the top right menu and go under advanced and look for "Chat Features" and you have it means you have the RCS chat update. The "Start Chat" bubble has always been there and that's what you select to start a new message etc and has nothing to do with the RCS chat update.
Here is a screenshot
Weird thing. My default app is Textra. If I go to the settings in the stock messenger, I see the chat options are grayed out. If I make the stock messenger my default I don't see the chat options anymore

Have the Unlocked Pixel 3 XL from Google on Verizon, chat isn't available yet. Anyway to push it?
I have the pixel 3xl unlocked from Google on Verizon and it did it by itself this morning
Verizon Pixel 3 XL here in PA, I haven't got it yet.
I have the unlocked P3XL on Verizon in Tennessee and I don't have the chat option yet.
Same, my default texting app is Pulse. Shows greyed out when Messages is not the default messaging app. Disappears when I change it to default.
Nothing here yet. Not like I'll be able to use it much anyway. Most of the people I talk to are on Verizon or T Mobile (without a Samsung phone), or have an iPhone.
i dont know why fi doesn't support it
and same with t mobile
unlocked , on verizon. with latest December update.. i dont have the chat feature option. using stock google messages.

Great, so all we need to use RCS is a Pixel 3, on Verizon, using the stock text app, and communicate with someone who also has a Pixel 3, with the stock text app, on Verizon.
Geez, just tell us to hop on one leg while reciting the alphabet backwards...
Still don't have RCS
Does this trickle down to MVNO's that use Verizon as well or is it just Verizon?

I was told by Verizon Pre Paid help last night it's not on Pre Paid yet... but I've also seen people on Straight Talk on Reddit claim it works so I just have to say IDK.

I apologize if this was already made aware or confirmed but I can confirm that Google does allow the Pixel 3xl esim to be used by other carriers other than project fi. I successfully got it working with tmobile.
For those with tmobile here is the instructions on how to get esim working with them.
https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/co...es_how_to_activate/?utm_source=reddit-android
And here is the screen shot of me utilizing tmobile as my esim.
Thanks for all of the xda community helping out to make things possible for our phones that many of the carriers would not allow us to do.
If you insert a physical SIM from another carrier, can you receive calls on both phone numbers? Or do you have to choose which single carrier you're on an any one time?
I wish this phone could do both at once, but unfortunately I have to switch back an fourth. I read somewhere that they had a rom or hack that could on one of the older pixels, but that is not confirmed and I don't know if it really existed or if I was reading what I wanted to read.

Did anyone try to activate eSim on Verizon?
Curious if visual voicemail in the phone dialer app is working for you? I'm having an issue getting it to work on one of my pixels. I've swapped some in my phone and determined it's the pixel/line having issues... might give this a try but wanted to make sure visual voicemail works for you.

For me, I had to log into my VZW account and disable all my VM related stuff. Made a test call and my VVM works flawlessly on my dialer app. I don't have eSim because I'm using VZW. Maybe OP can answer this if you are referring to eSim.
Would you guys know if Sprint support the eSIM on Pixel 3 XL?
Thank you.

On the box. Or Sim status Eid.
using esim only works on other carriers for the unlocked phones. eid is hidden from verizon versions. you can try to remove the physical sim on those. and also most the big carriers support it. it was originally for iphones but they have problems with theirs. mine works great on tmobile. tmobile, sprint, verizon and at&t support it. i had to call in three times till the last rep just did it. if you have to explain it, the rep doesnt know what they are doing. call back and get a rep that knows what is up.
I have just flased Android Q DP1. Tapping on "add carrier", no QR code scanner is shown. It jumps to an error page directly. May I confirm if everyone has the same issue?

Hi does anyone have a problem sending and receiving MMS on the international OP7 Pro in the default messaging app?
I haven't had any issues being on International for the past 5 days. But I'm also using Google Messages.
On T-Mobile
I actually have had issues with this. Not all the time, but it happened last night and a couple other times previously.
Using international version, Mint Mobile carrier (MVNO of Tmobile), on Google Messages.
Yeah very weird over wifi no problems. Sometimes I need to switch to Google messages and reboot phone to download them.
I'm not on international but have the TMobile variant and it sporadically will not send messages and I have to reattempt
Mine has been working well and the Chat feature is working too.
I have been switching back and forth from stock and google messages.

Either using a different app or using ADB to push the rcs package from the T-Mobile firmware to the international firmware.

What I did was send a couple pics with the stock app, that made the chat feature show up in options.
Then I switched to the google messages app and the chat option was in there. Turned it on and sent a couple pics there.
The option disappears but the feature stayed.

I don't, unfortunately. I was hoping someone still using the T-Mobile firmware with root would copy it and post it or hope someone knew how to extract it from the factory image.
Using the TMO sim I have had zero issues with MMS or SMS but on my US Mobile sim I am able to send and receive SMS but my video message come in as a picture and a separate audio file ....anyone else have that issue ?

I don't remember exactly what it's called but there is a system package with rcs in the name. It is the only one with rcs in the name.

Just having that package may not work on the International though. We will see.

It will not SIM lock your device but you will lose dual-SIM until you flash back to the international firmware.
Am I wrong for believing there is a Samsung version of visual voicemail that can be used on the unlocked phones?
I would like to give it a spin but cannot find it.
use T-Moible voicemail if you're using on T-Mobile Network, or use YouMail app or Google Voice if you have one.

That was one of the problems I ran into using an unlocked phone on Verizon network a couple of years ago. Also, I was not able to get notifications for text, etc. After that, I swore off unlocked phones. But things may have changed since then, or you may find a work around. Good luck.

I just uninstalled TVV and will look to give YouMail a try.
However my question still remains, am I wrong to assume that there is a Samsung Visual Voicemail app that can be used. I swear I read something about how people hated the Tmobile version because they make you pay to transcribe the voicemail to text but the Samsung version did not.
Yes it has the Samsung one installed. It comes up as voicemail in the finder...it's not baked in to the dialer though which is super annoying.
If you want the at&t visual voicemail or other branded version the apk is out there and I can confirm does work on our phone the same issue is still present though regarding the missing icon from the dialer...
Xda hates my phone at the moment so I can't upload a picture but the image for the Samsung one looks just like the voicemail notification symbol.

Because no matter what I do I can't get it enabled here. I activated it in 8 phones already. Is there a secret or a stipulation?

No. Google messages. I'm not giving facebook access to my text messages.
Solution: So I added global texting to my device (which actually belongs to my wife) just so that my sim could be activated on the xiaomi network. Afterwards, I downgraded messages to the "Pegasus" version and re-attempted the workaround. Eureka! Success! This one here is the Pro version as well. Hadn't installed the update that came a couple of days ago at the time. Case dismissed!
I'm having a weird issue with my unlocked N20U on verizon. I'm not getting text messages sometimes. Most of the time when I send them they go through, but I do not receive all of them. Does anyone have any ideal what I might can do to fix this?
The few things I've done so far are:
Switched to Samsung's message app over Google's. That seemed to work at first.
I switched to LTE/CDMA in network settings.
I downloaded Google Carrier services which probably does nothing but I did it anyway.
I don't know what else I can do.

Yes, it's correct. I haven't set it to manual yet but I will test it.
I'm going to contact Verizon and see if perhaps a new sim will fix it. I have no idea what could be the issue. I would understand better if it just didn't work at all, but the fact it does work sometimes and not others is strange.
My son was having similar problems until he enabled the RCS under messages. I think he was using Google Messages, but I think it can be done under Samsung's messaging app as well. Hope that helps.
Edit: same scenario, VZW with the unlocked version of the device.

Idk if you've resolved it or contacted them yet. Either way if you need the sun I recommend googling 5G verizon sim and clicking the link to the verizon page for it. I contacted a few reps and they told me I couldn't order a new one online but had to go in the store. Store is too far so shipping is easier. I was able to select the 5G sim for the line.
I know if the phone doesn't register with their servers properly, you won't get access to their CDMA bands. Which results in the same issues as if you have like a OP7P on Verizonm you can send but not receive messages. You have to have them provision the line as CDMA-LESS so it sends your SMS over LTE as well, and viola it works. (OP7P doesn't have the proper CDMA radio to access it, but the OP8P does but it still doesn't work unless Verizon sells you the phone). Worth a shot. SMS works on my unlocked N20U on Verizon but my line was previously already set to CDMA-LESS as I came from a OP7P.

I did a factory reset last night and it seems to be working better today but I still experienced issues. I'm going to get a new sim. Now if I could just get the chat service on Verizon's website to work. I might have to call them because the chat service seems broken.
Do you have a direct link for the 5g sim page? I searched google but didn't see it. I'll keep looking.
[edit] I found the page, but it's broken. It loads and then goes blank. I tried it in 3 different browsers and it does the same thing in all of them. I always have trouble with Verizon's site. It's complete garbage.
http://https://www.verizon.com/support/4g-sim-card-faqs/ That's the link I used and under section 4. I logged into my account and it had me select the line. I have been having issues with Verizon support and account pages for the past month or so as well.

Yea, that's what I found. When I get to the slect a line part it shows while it's loading but then the whole page goes blank. I've tried 4 different browsers now and the same happens on them all. Verizon needs a new web admin because their site is broken and has been for ages. Crazy that such a large company could have such a broken site. Now I'm going to try the app. If that doesn't work I guess I'll call them tomorrow.
