Initially, within the U.S. it was T-Cell, Verizon, and AT&T that supported the protocol of RCS that enables iOS and Android customers to share the aforementioned superior messaging options throughout a cross-platform messaging session or group chat. The variety of U.S. wi-fi suppliers that now help iOS-Android RCS messaging has risen to 17 from the unique massive three. Apple has posted a listing of all U.S. carriers that supply this help and this checklist contains:
- AT&T
- Increase Cell (requires iOS 18.2)
- C Spire
- Client Mobile
- Cricket
- FirstNet
- H20 Wi-fi
- Metro by T-Cell
- PureTalk
- Crimson Pocket
- Spectrum Cell
- T-Cell
- TracFone / Straight Discuss
- US Mobile
- Verizon
- Seen
- Xfinity Cell
Apparently, whereas T-Cell is included within the checklist, among the MVNOs (Cell Digital Community Operators) it has acquired corresponding to Mint Cell and Extremely Cell are nowhere to be discovered. Contemplating that collectively they signify about 3 million U.S. wi-fi customers, we won’t consider any cause why these two could be completely excluded from providing iOS-Android RCS help. T-Cell most likely simply hasn’t had the chance to set this up for Mint Cell and Extremely Cell prospects.
