Hi, I can’t get RCS (chat features) to work on my phone with EE. The chat features status just shows [“Unavailable” / “Setting up…”].
Here’s what I’ve tried so far:
Restarted my phone
Updated Carrier Services
Cleared cache and data in the Messages app
Toggled chat features on/off
Tested on both Wi-Fi and mobile data
None of this has worked. Could someone confirm if this is an EE provisioning issue, or if there’s something else I need to do to get RCS working?
Thanks iadvance for any help

Hi @Abisub
Please try using Samsung Messages and activating the RCS service/Chat service.

Please check the correct mobile number is showing in the settings- go to settings > About phone > phone number.
Just to confirm, you have completed all the following steps to resolve an S25 Ultra RCS status stuck on "configuration,"-
Clear the cache and data for the Google Messages app and Carrier Services, restart your phone, then go to Messages settings and tap Retry on the RCS chats (Chat features) to verify your number again.
Clear Cache and Data
Retry RCS Chats
Following that try toggling Airplane Mode on, wait a minute, then disable it. Re-open Google Messages and check the RCS status.
If the above steps don't work, please give Customer Service a call where a guide in the Technical team will be able to look into this for you.
They may need to send a Network Message Update to your SIM card for the Messaging Service to detect your number correctly.
As a last resort, try disabling RCS chat features, leaving them off for several days (up to a week), and then re-enabling them to force a new verification process with the RCS server.
