Rich Communications Services (RCS) is a new messaging protocol. It was originally created to replace SMS and MMS messaging, and to elevate text messaging to modern messaging standards. RCS offers many of the features available on popular messaging platforms like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and iMessage. And as a bonus perk, it enables users to communicate with your business within the native messaging app of their phones similar to SMS - no additional app download needed.
More about RCSRCS is a new messaging protocol, originally created with the intent to replace SMS. Contrary to SMS, which consists plain text messages, RCS offers rich media and more innovative features that can elevate business messaging to the next level.
More about RCS vs. SMSRCS Business Messaging and WhatsApp Business Messaging are both notable channels for businesses that strive for a personal and conversational approach to customer communication. WhatsApp is a Meta product, and it requires an app download before use. RCS operates from the native messaging app of (most) mobile phones. The features they offer are quite similar to each other in terms of coverage, rich media, security, and automation.
RCS is native on all Android phones, and in 2024, Apple started to release RCS support with iOS 18. RCS coverage is dependent on operators enabling RCS services. CM.com currently has full RCS coverage in France, Spain, the UK and Germany. With partial operator coverage in Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark and more countries to follow.
More about RCS on iOS 18RCS messages can be sent when both the sender and the recipient have it enabled on their phones, and the devices are connected to the internet. Is there no internet connection available, or does either the sender or the recipient not have RCS enabled on their phone? Then the message will be sent as an SMS or MMS message.
RCS Messages are sent over Wi-Fi or mobile data. Are you connected to a Wi-Fi network? Then you won't pay additional costs for using RCS. If you're connected to your own mobile data plan, the costs are based on your provider. Messages send without a connection to the internet will instead be sent as SMS or MMS messages.
You only get a few seconds to make an impact with your business messaging, so make those seconds count. While traditional SMS is still widely used, it's becoming limited in its features. RCS for Business is SMS 2.0 - native and easy to use, but also rich and engaging. The perfect tool for business messaging! Let's see where RCS can truly make a difference.
