RCS messaging

I have done what is recommended above a WEEK ago and it still says "Waiting for activation".  Now what?

I do completely understand where you are coming from, and I do apologize for the delay in the messaging pushing through @user_sxj78k. I want to confirm, have you reached out to Apple Support for further assistance with the device specifically? Is your device fully updated to at least iOS 18? 

Spent 1.5 hours with an Apple tec at an Apple store and they rebooted the iphone and restored it and attested that the phone was 100% correct and working.  Ios is up to date at IOS 26.5. RCS Messaging still saying "Waiting for activation. Another interesting thing is my wife's phone which was activated the same time as mine says her carrier is Xfinity Mobil 69.01.1 and mine says Xfinity Mobil 70.0.  When I go further my phone says IMS Status is "Voice & SMS while on my wife's phone is says "Voice, SMS & RCS".  Makes me think the woman who activated both phones at the same time made an error in activating my phone.  In talking to the local Xfinity store they will not agree that they made any errors in the activation process. In communicating with the Assistant Manager of the local Xfinity store he told me the problem might have been that my phone and my wife's phone were on different shipments!  I can't believe that anyone would argue that the same model iphone would have different settings if they came on different trucks!  I have an appointment today to talk about cancelling a bunch of services with Xfinity! 

Good morning user_sxj78k. I wanted to check in to see if you are still having issues with the messaging. Thank you very much for getting us in the loop on this situation. 

Yes, still having trouble with messaging.  If you read the previous posting you can see what the problem is.  Neither the local Xfinity people nor the people I spoke to on the web (after dialing 611) had any solutions.  Not happy with Xfinity as I have started canceling some services we had contracted with Xfinity.
