RCS chat wrong number after port to Smarty
This is what worked for me (Google Pixel 6)...
I went into the phone settings, went to Apps, then selected Messages.
I then cleared the storage/cache, restarted the phone, went back into the message settings, went into Advanced and entered the correct phone number. Back to RCS Messages (had to wait for this to become available again, it wasn't straight from the off), turned that back on and entered the correct number to verify it, and it worked!
If you've got important messages, I would recommend backing them up first.
Robalot7 What you describe covers the general situation - slightly different for iPhone though.
The problem seems to arise because the device 'remembers' the original number allocated to the sim and is loathe to change once you port in your old number unless 'adjusted'. Some people report that a network reset does it too.
It will be different to iPhone as they don't use RCS yet, that's coming in later this year reportedly. That was just my solution to fixing the RCS problem, I don't have a clue how iMessage works. 🤣
