If RCS doesn't work for you in Samsung Messages, that means your carrier doesn't support it for your device. Switch to Google Messages.

You're welcome. There's a lot of inconsistency with Samsung Messages and RCS. It works for some people on some devices with some carriers. By and large, carriers no longer want to maintain RCS servers. It works on any device with Google Messages because everything gets routed through their Jibe servers.
