MLS please come and save us…
I finally gave up on rcs and I’m on beeper now. I had one or two friends that it just never works with and there is no way to disable it per conversation so I was unable to talk to just those people. Hopefully when beeper adds rcs soon it’ll be better.
I can’t overstate how big of a fan I am! There are certainly a few rough edges (particularly with attachments and gifs for text convos) but other than that it’s been great. I use the iMessage integration but only with one friend cause I’ve been nervous to rely on it. The devs are really good at communicating when there is an outage which gives me a lot of confidence.
Fix the goddamned failover to SMS you morons! My kids don’t have data plans and I usually keep data turned off on my phone (because Canada), I keep having to turn off RCS altogether because if I try to send them a message over RCS it doesn’t failover to SMS (yes, I have the option turned on), it just sits there dumfounded saying “can’t deliver”.
You fail at failing.

What does this mean? I’m in Canada and I’ve got data turned on virtually the entire time
Ah fair enough. Yeah moving here from a country where unlimited data was around $3 a month was a shock. That said I get 40 GB for $50 a month with Koodo so I’ve never even come close to reaching my limit.
But google voice?
I thought it was already on by default? Or is that just for pixels
it’s not. atm it’s not only opt-in but also requires to actually go to settings and enable it, it won’t prompt you when launching the app
Hmm on my Pixel it prompts me every now and then with a popup, even though I don’t want to enable it.
I never use text messages, I already use Telegram and WhatsApp, and I don’t like that, in the rare case I need to send an SMS, I’m not sure if it uses my internet connection or not.
