Samsung Messages error "couldn't connect to the network" Verizon network?

[ShounA]

There was a update in the Store app for Samsung Messages. After the update I went to turn on the chat settings but got a error. It just keep saying: Couldn't connect to the network. I kept trying it then says:There was an issue updating you to Advanced Messaging.There are a few reasons that might be causing the issue. Has anyone else had this issue. My carrier is Verizon .

Samsung message app is working quite fine with rcs enable on my Verizon s25 ultra

First try clearing Samsung Messages cache if that doesn't help clear data to restart app

Hi!  I've tried that and still didn't work!  I keep getting the same message!

Were you using Google Messages before the update if so you will need to turn off RCS Messaging in Google Messages

[IvyAngele08]

Absolutely not..lol. I was able to still utilize samsung

[ShounA]

No, I wasn't.

Hello...so I contacted VZ tech and they weren't able to turn on RCS on 23 ultra.

That's why Verizon ended support for RCS Messaging in Samsung Messages on 1/6/25 they made an announcement a month or two before that

That's what the rep said. My husband has the 22, and his RCS still works with Samsung messages.
