Probably some weird carrier RCS registration issue. My wife uses a s10e on EE (UK) and I use a Pixel 4 XL on Vodafone (UK) and I get RCS messages between us. Only use it for the delivery and read notifications but it works. I do remember having loads of problems with RCS registration failing on the Samsung side, or just disabling itself. Edit: Specifically I think it won't register whilst on WiFi and requires the correct mobile APN. I used to switch APNs to get a public IP address/ unfiltered internet

It's not an issue on the device, I asked my carrier, Google won't let them interconnect RCS to Jibe. To my understanding, carriers were encouraged to either implement Universal Profile on their own or use a Google-operated "Jibe as a service" infrastructure. The former are now completely isolated from Google's network. To me it looks like British carriers are simply using Jibe.
