I know what it is, but it's got nothing to do with this discussion. What company provides 2FA codes via RCS instead of SMS?

Most of them do, because as you have noted before, SMS protocol is not secure.

Do they? I've never seen this as an option. In fact, I've never even seen RCS mentioned anywhere outside Android enthusiast forums!

It's not surprising if you haven't come across the rollout of RCS. Google developed this feature as a replacement for the less secure SMS standards and aimed for a seamless implementation without causing user disruptions. This could be a rare instance where we commend Google for a change that benefits users, not just their bottom line.

Except there's still very little support for it as they haven't opened up the protocol for people to actually write clients to use it

And it appears Apple isn't on board, and since the vast majority of my text messages go to my wife on her iPhone, it's largely useless for me.

I'm also considering moving to a Linux phone (PinePhone), which I assume also won't be able to use this. So it's a nice gesture, but ultimately has limited impact.
