RCS: Waiting for activation
I started having this issue on the new IPhone 17 in early March. I have tried everything to fix it.
1-Resetting RCS off and then on.
2-Resetting Network Settings.
3-Calling Verizon to check if there is an RCS block activated, there wasn’t.
4-Having Verizon re-build my line on the plan.
5-Deactivating the line in settings and reenabling it.
6-Factory Resetting the entire phone with no backup restore.
7-Using the Apple Devices app on Windows to completely reinstall the Firmware and Operating system, which was a headache with the occasional errors. Got it working though.
I am currently just waiting for it to activate, checking it often.
Like I’m at a loss, I have no idea what to do other than wait and see if it eventually activates.
I haven’t tried switching the IMEI’s to see if that fix works but so far, It’s like everything I have tried has not worked and I don’t want to reactivate it again, which might cause it to malfunction even more.
All I know is this is infuriating,
I have searched the internet nonstop for a fix but with no solution yet
Anyone else have this problem?
And if so, how did the problem get resolved?
