Huawei Mate 20 Pro - Google Chat Features not working - Just switched today from Telus

[kerrikitty]

Just switched today, google chat features were working fine on telus, and with public I cannot get it to connect. 
It said it was connected but all my texts to my bf were going as SMS. I then reset the app cache, app data, force stopped and then disconnected chat features and reconnected them. It's currently stalled on "connecting"
Why wouldn't it work on public, if it worked on telus?|
Edited to add: Have also restarted phone which prompted me to select "Get Started" when i opened messages...  Still stuck on connecting

Changing the settings to the ones in that link stopped my internet from working all together, so I went back to the default profile that the phone was given this morning. I had to hit the retry button in the app settings to get it to accept my phone number and now it works. 
Strange

Pretty sure it's google messages. 
It spontaneously works this morning. posted an update reply at the bottom of the thread.

Somehow resolved itself this morning. 
Tried changing APN from the default to the settings I was given in the first post, to see if that would work and that bungled my internet all together. Switched it back to the default one this morning and it works now. Not sure what's up with that, but I'm glad to have it back. 
Weird the things we take for granted lol

@kerrikitty update your "carrier services app" and restart your device

@kerrikitty  Go into settings apps and select messages under advanced select the option to clear the apps cache. Restart your device test to see if it works.

Correct me if I am wrong.

I think Google Chat is also called RCS.  

RCS is supported by Telus.  But PM does not support RCS.

Sorry, PM support RCS

Are you using Android Messages app on your phone?

Does anything on the internet work when connected to mobile data?  If not, double check your APN settings. Look here:  https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/on/get-help/articles/set-up-data-on-an-android-phone
