Currently, RCS only applies to carriers in the US such as Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile. Bell in Canada, Telefonica in Spain and O2 in Germany also support RCS on iPhones running iOS 18 developer beta 3 or later.

After activating RCS support on your phone, you need to wait a while for the license code to be sent to your phone.
