Not Getting The Text Messages? More Carriers To Support RCS Messaging
Written by luma on December 23, 2024
Apple finally introduced RCS support to its iPhones with the iOS 18 update earlier this year, enabling a more modern experience between Apple devices and Android phones. This feature was initially limited to a few US carriers before slowly expanding, and Apple has now revealed a larger list of networks that support this texting standard. Apple updated its support page to list all the US carriers and MVNOs that support iOS 18’s RCS functionality:
- AT&T
- C Spire
- Consumer Cellular
- Cricket
- FirstNet
- H20 Wireless
- Metro by T-Mobile
- PureTalk
- Red Pocket
- Spectrum
- T-Mobile
- Tracfone/Straight Talk
- US Cellular
- Verizon
- Visible
- Xfinity Mobile
The list is missing a few MVNOs, such as Boost Mobile and US Mobile. Apple’s iOS 18.2 update enabled RCS support on the former network. Nevertheless, this list should give you a better idea of which carriers support the modern texting standard. One high-profile omission is Google Fi, though. Google reportedly noted back in September that only Apple could enable RCS for iPhone users on Fi.
