Hi, maybe this part is not entirely clear, but everywhere RCS was enabled by Apple, it works.
The thing is, outside China and a few other exceptions, there's no MNO infrastructure. It's Jibe or nothing.
Google seems to run several "catch all" domains to provision Google Messages with the IMS configuration in all countries where Jibe is running, for instance:
config.rcs.mnc${MNC}.mcc${MCC}.jibecloud.net
While the iOS client should default to 3GPP well-known configuration domains:
config.rcs.mnc${MNC}.mcc${MCC}.pub.3gppnetwork.org
But in almost all cases this should be Jibe endpoints too.
- freitasm 2y agoIt doesn't work in New Zealand. Operators have not deployed the infrastructure needed for it.
- hocuspocus 2y agoAgain, there's no operator deployed infrastructure, it's Jibe, which works in NZ since 2020 like in most of the world: https://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=97&topicid=275928 https://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=97&topicid=275...
- freitasm 2y agoI like how you are replying to me with my own website. Here is some interesting comment from a telco staff https://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=76&topicid=315670&page_no=6#3289888 https://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=76&topicid=315... What I meant is, interoperability between iOS RCS and Android RCS won't work until telcos deploy their own servers and Google fallback to those.
- hocuspocus 2y agoAnd again, telcos don't deploy servers. The backend is provided by Jibe, it's already running. The iOS 18 RCS client provisioned in the US, UK, Spain, Germany, ... connects to Jibe and can send messages to Android devices running Google Messages.
