Lots of people have already been enjoying cross-platform RCS messaging when texting with iOS 18 beta users. And iPhones on the big carriers' plans can now trade RCS with Android users. But some iPhone users, particularly on mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs)&mdash;typically pre-paid services that do not own network hardware but resell major carrier access&mdash;do not have an RCS option available to them yet.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>Reading between the lines, you might conclude that Google is waiting on Apple to enable RCS on a network-by-network basis, both for Fi and for Android users at large.
