Thanks @denny I switched to PM today and the port seems to be complete. RCS says "Status: Connecting, Connection in Progress". Is it normal for that to take some time? I tried switching RCS off and then on again hoping it would setup instantly but it goes back to "Status: Connecting". Anything I should try, or just need to wait? 

@dholden6e Rich Communications Services. It's like iMessage, but open source for any platform. It sends messages over data instead of over SMS/MMS. This allows a more feature rich messaging experience, with things like high quality photos and videos, received/read indicators, typing indicators etc. Google 'RCS wiki' for more info.

Sorry but what’s RCS

@LorneG66 Yes, RCS works with Public Mobile for Android to Android and Android to Apple devices. Keep in mind this is dependent on both sender and receiver having RCS on and connected to data, otherwise you'll need to depend on SMS which requires cell service.

Is RCS chat a feature that works on PM? If so can I text over Wifi with no cell service? Thanks.

Sorry, no wifi calling on PM. You need to go to mid or top tier carriers for wifi calling.
