RCS chat wrong number after port to Smarty
Thanks for the suggestion.
It didn't work I'm afraid. After following the instructions and turning RCS chats on, it tried to verify my number but failed and reverted back to the old number.
I'm guessing perhaps you used the SMARTY SIM in your Oppo handset before switching your number to SMARTY, MartinK_2563556?
If so, Google's RCS servers registered the Oppo as using the number SMARTY allocated for your connection to their network.
Have you tried using the online Google Messages deactivation web portal?
If you've done this, then maybe just turn OFF RCS in Google Messages app for several weeks. The Google RCS servers usually sort themselves out, eventually.
Hi again.
Thanks for your replies.
You are right that I have been previously using the Smarty SIM in my Oppo handset. I had the old SIM as a second SIM but no longer required that hence the switch to using a single SIM.
I have tried to fill in the form in the link you provided but it keeps asking me to check the number and try again.
Thanks again.
Thinking about it, not sure you can actually use the link to deregister from RCS, MartinK_2563556.
The number you want to deregister would be the initial number SMARTY allocated, before you switched the number you wanted to keep over to SMARTY.
Since you've switched now, there's no way of now receiving the verification code for the initial SMARTY number.
Maybe worth turning OFF RCS in Google Messages app for a few weeks. The Google RCS servers should sort themselves out, eventually.
