Fix the goddamned failover to SMS you morons! My kids don't have data plans and I usually keep data turned off on my phone (because Canada), I keep having to turn off RCS altogether because if I try to send them a message over RCS it doesn't failover to SMS (yes, I have the option turned on), it just sits there dumfounded saying "can't deliver".

You fail at failing.

Yes this is the biggest issue. It's caught me out several times where I thought the message was sent but wasn't.

I've reported it to Google. I hope someone reads the feedback....

You don't get a promotion for blocking a buggy launch.

What does this mean? I'm in Canada and I've got data turned on virtually the entire time

[–] Pxtl@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As in "data plans are stupid-expensive here".

[–] randromeda@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah fair enough. Yeah moving here from a country where unlimited data was around $3 a month was a shock. That said I get 40 GB for $50 a month with Koodo so I've never even come close to reaching my limit.

[–] Pxtl@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

I'm really cheap when it comes to anything monthly. I only got a data plan really recently and it's bare minimum - before that I was paying $8/mo for just talk and text. I'm a luddite, I like owning stuff. I'd rather have an expensive phone and a cheap plan than the reverse, and at $40/mo a good deal but that's still pricier than a good phone after 2 years.
