I disagree. I have 2 galaxy s21 ultras being used on my tmobile account. The Google messages app on these devices use the Jibe network for RCS and don't have any issues with sending or receiving RCS messages.
The google messages app on my T-mobile ROM S23 ultras are forced to use the T-mobile RCS servers instead of Google Jibe RCS servers. If I switch my messaging app to Samsung messages, which apparently doesnt use the T-mobile RCS servers, RCS messages send and receive with no problem. The issues lies with T-mobile and not Google since the issue only occurs when RCS messages are managed by T-mobile's RCS servers.
It's the same Android Messages app in the PlayStore. There is no separate version of the app for T-Mobile ROM's.
It is the same app, but in RCS settings in Google messages you can see the RCS server is either Jibe or Tmobile. On my S21 Ultras, it is Jibe. On my sS23 Ultras, it is Tmobile servers.
I also would also be willing to try to pulse sms that you use, but it doesn't look like they have a wear OS app.
