How to Enable RCS on iPhone with iOS 18
https://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-enable-rcs-messaging-on-iphone-to-text-android-users-3482571/#2

Fundamentally iMessage is an internet-based service that delivers your
messages via Apple's servers which means it doesn't work most of the time
unless you have all the myriad requirements (and which is why most of the
world shuns Apple devices as only working in the richest countries).

RCS, on the other hand, is a carrier-based service and works everywhere the
carrier supports it (without needing the net just to do anything useful).

In other words, if you want it to work, don't use the Apple walled garden.

Worse, the article explains that Apple (again!) murdered privacy, saying:
"Apple warns that user identifiers are exchanged for your carrier
and their partners to authenticate your device and provide a
connection for RCS messaging. "These identifiers could include
but are not limited to your IMEI, IMSI, current IP address,
and phone number. Your current IP address might also be shared
with other RCS users," the company notes."

Apple mostly sells to people who do not understand the technology.

True. iMessage is an internet-based service.

False:

'RCS has been designed as an industry open standard[2][3] to provide
improved capabilities over basic text messaging, based on the Internet
Protocol (IP).'

'Network dependency. A key difference between RCS and SMS is that SMS
sends messages over the cellular network, while RCS content requires
data connectivity before it can be transmitted.'
