Working camera in order to scan the QR code to login
Active SMS sim card
You must have an active SIM card in the phone that will enable you to send and receive SMS messages from the phone to another phone.
If you have both these things then you are ready to connect the phone.

Step 3: Updating RCS
In some circumstances delivery and receipt of messages may work better with RCS disabled and in general we recommend to have it turned off
If you are using an eSIM from another country to send and receive SMS over WIFI then you will need to have RCS switched on.
In order to change RCS:
On your device, open Google Messages
At the top right, tap your profile picture or icon
Go to Messages settings.
Tap RCS chats.
Turn RCS chats on or off.

Once we have confirmed your SIM is attached to your account, if you have issues with SMS not sending or receiving please go through the following troubleshooting steps.

Make sure that you are able to send and receive SMS directly from the phone. If you cannot please check that the phone has credit or that there is not another issue with the sim card
Is the SMS Gateway phone on the App running
The SMS Gateway App must be running at all times on the phone in the background. If your messages are only running when the phone is awake the app has not been set to run in the background correctly. To check SMS Gateway App is allowed to run in background please:
Long press on App > Info > Battery Settings > Make sure it's unrestricted.
Is RCS off on the phone?
Even if you did turn off RCS during installation please check again. Any update on your phone may have reset RCS to turn back on
