Time Sensitive Message send failure

Hi team,

I’m using iOS 27.0.1 and experiencing failures when sending messages marked as TIME SENSITIVE. The issue appears to affect specific contacts.

For example, I can successfully send and receive messages with one iPhone user, but I’m unable to do so with another user.

Could you please help investigate this issue?

PS - This is happening after setting up a new device.


I tried almost everything given on the internet, including turning the Messages toggle on and off, reinserting the SIM, resetting the network settings, and restarting the device.

RCS/SMS is your phone carrier feature, contact them to resolve your issue.

Hey razmee, I don't agree with you since the issue is only specific to some set of users. Also, everything works perfectly in Android.
