RCS Messaging Update
In September, Fizz updated its network integration to improve compatibility between Android devices and iPhones.
As part of this migration, certain issues were resolved, including an access issue that allowed some customers to use RCS messaging even though their mobile plans did not include texting. This feature is actually reserved for customers with plans that include text messaging. Customers with plans that do not include texting who were previously able to use RCS messaging may notice changes resulting from this update. Fizz continues to offer two plan options: plans without texting and plans with unlimited texting.
Please note that the migration is being rolled out gradually.
What do I need to use RCS?
To use RCS messaging, your mobile plan must include unlimited texting. RCS functionality is tied to the texting option and is not a separate service offered within Fizz plans.
If your current plan does not include unlimited texting, you can review the available plan options in your account.
Why are we making this change?
This network integration update expands device compatibility, particularly for messaging exchanges between Android and iPhone users, while helping ensure a more consistent user experience over the long term.

What are the options? Now you are forcing users to change their plans by adding the unlimited text messaging, thus paying more for the new/current plans.
Such things should be communicated before implementing new features and not post factum.
