Do phone calls and RCS work 100% of the time? (I really hope the answer is “yes” because I really want to get out of the closed source ecosystem.)

I'm afraid I have no idea what an RCS is, but maybe that's a network/region specific thing? I'm in the UK using GiffGaff (O₂) and the phone, SMS, and data works exactly as well as everyone else's... which is to say perfectly in most places and sporadically on the train due to the dead zones on the route.
