The Vodacom SIM card is now in Galaxy S22 with RCS working. Where in settings do I get IMS statues please?

Are you sending and receiving RCS messages in the above setup whilst connected to a wifi network, or via mobile data from said Vodacom simcard ?

While connected to WiFi. I will check if RCS works while connected to Vodacom data and let know.

That is the key discussion of this thread - RCS does not work over a Vodacom data connection.

It will work fine over a wifi connection, but not over a Vodacom data connection.
 
So we are back to square one RCS is not supported by the Telcos.

RCS messaging on Android is supported by Cell C, Telkom Mobile, MTN and works fine.

RCS messaging on Android is supported by Vodacom, but does not work when using a Vodacom mobile data connection.

@Ockie -We have been assured by a Vodacom Eclo staff that the company is working on the issue.
QUOTE- Vodacom remains committed to supporting new and innovative ways of messaging, including RCS. While some Android devices already support RCS, Vodacom and Google are in discussions and are yet to sign an agreement governing some of the terms to support customers. Vodacom is also engaging other global suppliers to support both Android & iOS, to drive RCS adoption in the future. -UNQUOTE.
Remember that connection by Vodacom Mobile Data is the problem.

Understood. It used to work 100% though. Now it is dead in the water.
 
Some quick feedback. I've not given up on this. Since hearing that Ockie got zero response after that 20 September tweet, I am now all over this.

I'm expecting answers this week.

However, if your RCS randomly starts working on the Vodacom LTE APN, please let me know.

Thank you Jan. It is appreciated. I did test like a hour ago, but no cigar. Looking forward to see what Vodacom have to say about this.
