When will T-Mobile convert their RCS platform to the Jibe Platform (Google) for RCS?

Might not even be a T-Mobile or Google issue. Happens to Samsung messaging app, Googles, Messaging app. It doesn't matter of location or which servers.

No technology works 100% of the time, sure. But there is a real issue affecting a ton of T-mobile Samsung phones for the unstable T-mobile RCS with Google Messages that doesn't affect Samsung Messages. It doesn't take much research to see how widespread this issue is. 

It’s disappointing that it’s been months since Fall 2023 that T-mobile said they were switching and yet so many phones are still using the T-mobile RCS on the 2024.03.08 version of Google Messages.

Google could do the switch right now if they wanted to. There is no agreement for carriers to use Googles app for x years. It's literally a flag only Google can change. 

All messages apps are affected for some reason. This includes Google Messages. There are regions that only use Jibe and they have this problem listed below. 

"Others also contributed their observations that the people whose chats they find constantly switching between RCS and conventional SMS have Samsung devices. It's unclear what may be causing this, as there's little guidance on the matter from Google or Samsung."
