Re: Can't send/receive MMS on Wi-Fi
This is a long term well known problem with T-Mobile. Your best bet is to download another text app, Textra is a great one, and use that. Textra has a toggle that turns off WiFi on the phone when sending MMS. It is specifically called the T-Mobile WiFi fix.34Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Native Messenger 1MB text limitations
Textra does not limit size but carriers do. Textra, and most other 3rd party sms apps have an unrestricted size limit but since it is still SMS carriers have to have size limits. Data messengers do not. Not edited to soften language :-)23Visto1like0ComentariosRe: Native Messenger 1MB text limitations
What is RCS Messaging, and How Does It Work? | Digital Trends In the U.S., T-Mobile and AT&T have implemented versions of RCS that only work on their respective networks; they don't conform to the Universal Profile. Sprint's does, but it isn't available on all devices. "A big question mark is whether carriers will move at a reasonable speed to create interoperability," Shirey said. "We haven't seen much activity here." https://www.androidcentral.com/google-making-it-easier-carriers-communicate-over-rcs GSMA Announces Version 2 of the RCS Universal Profile Standard8Visto0likes0ComentariosRe: Native Messenger 1MB text limitations
This, for the most part, has nothing to do with T Mobile. First, you came from an Iphone, Iphone has imessage. A very good and complete messenger service that we do not have on android, once you realize that you either need to move back to apple or get over it and find a better way, like the rest of us. As to why. The built in app we use for text messaging is a basic sms app. Go back fifteen years to a flip phone and it is the same basic method of sending messages. Imessage on the other hand works like whatsapp or allo (data) but uses sms as a backup. that is why it is so complete. Android has nothing like this, for the most part. If you use imessage and see a green bubble you know they are either not using imessage or have no data. So when you try to send a picture it has to compress the pic to be able to send it. Googles messaging is a giant cluster frak. They have google messages, basic SMS, google allo/duo, which are messengers with video phone calling like whatsapp, only better. Even though everyone is screaming for google to merge the two to create basically imessages for android they have not, and might not. Google came out with RMS, rich message service, that works nearly identical to imessage. The issue is the carriers. The program is totally open source (or whatever the correct terminology is) Only sprint in the US and a couple of canadian carriers use the actual google system. Verizon will not use it because they have verizon messages, a good but only if you have verizon app. Don't know what ATT does with it. T-Mobile uses it but they use their own variation so it only works tmobile to tmobile, if you have the correct phone, and not if you bought a non tmobile phone. Basically, carriers are trying to do their own thing, google is drunk, and we have a choice of a lot of good message services that no one can agree on, whatsapp is the most popular, or seems to be. The carriers in the US hamstring everything. Iphone users will not use a separate messenger then complain about green bubbles. So SMS is the standart, very outdated standard, in the US and since google will not build an imessage clone and make it the built in app we have a headache.16Visto0likes0Comentarios
