RCS file size limitations

Since Android messages has the same file size limit it only makes sense to use that app because there is no limit on the character count. Plus it has many more features. It's also available device to device vs. Proprietary T-Mobile Advanced messaging.

It's unfortunate that the wording has created the confusion that we see throughout all of the forums and communities through various sources. However in the end it only works on T-Mobile to other T-Mobile devices with that proprietary functionality.

Until there is cross-carrier full compatibility where people can send large files without having to send a link to cloud drives of some sort or another it really is just the best option.

I myself feel kind of like a fool for making a deal out of the situation when there's really nothing you can do about it as a customer.

I suppose the situation is becoming worse because at this point nobody is going to check the replies and updates on this thread because nobody really interacts with the T-Mobile community anymore. However RCS is still not working. I've moved on to a Samsung S10e. What I find interesting with this situation is that you can receive up to 3 MB but you can only send up to 1 MB. and if most all carriers are set up the same way then really the weak link in the chain is always going to be the sending size. this means nobody will ever send or receive anything over when megabyte. almost to say that the 3 MB receiving limit is useless.

Is 20/20 and we can have a full-on global virus that seems to be working but we can't get a little bit of communication software to work correctly.

Well obviously I can use stock messaging on my Samsung to another T-Mobile Samsung user and chat works okay. I can use Android messages with a Pixel 3 user on Verizon and it works. Obviously those are two different services and two different carriers but yeah still broken.
