RCS — enhanced messaging solution

Native app for all messages

The most important advantage of RCS technology is a message delivery into the native “Messages” application, which is available on any Android smartphone on the first screen.

Unlike messengers such as WhatsApp and Viber, which are undoubtedly very popular, the standard “Messages” application is installed by default on all Android smartphones and may receive RCS business messages without any additional settings.

The standard application accommodates user chats with friends, family and colleagues, as well as SMS or RCS RBM notifications from the businesses. Such business messages are highlighted in the chat list using the branded sender ID.

Branded RCS RBM sender ID

Branding the Sender ID is a great opportunity provided by RCS RBM technology. Unlike SMS, where only an alpha-numeric code was available for brand identity, the RCS RBM senders can be widely branded.

A lot of options for styling chats and profiles of the RCS RBM sender IDs:

  • Brand logo
  • Hero image (profile cover)
  • Company description
  • Website link
  • Contact emails (more than one)
  • Contact phones (more than one)
  • Chat dialog color scheme
  • Terms of service link
  • Privacy policy link

If a user’s device doesn’t support RCS messages, you can send transparent fallback to SMS using Messagio. Thus, your marketing campaign covers 100% of the recipients.

Rich card carousels

Carousel is the most powerful tool in RCS business messaging. Scrollable and attractive content with images, texts and CTA (Click-to-action) buttons yields an incredible conversion.

Google RCS RBM technology allows combining up to 10 rich cards in a single message to the client. Every rich card may contain up to 2 CTA buttons as suggested actions.

At the moment, none of the OTT messengers give businesses such a tool for up-sales, customer support and marketing campaigns. An additional advantage is that carousels are natively integrated into the “Messages” app that is standard on each phone, therefore, no extra steps are required to receive a rich card carousel from the branded sender ID.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you don’t see an answer to your question, you can send us an email from our contact form.

RCS stands for Rich Communication Services. RCS messaging is a protocol that can send messages to mobile phones to the standard app for SMS and MMS. But it’s so much more than that – think of it as SMS or MMS 2.0.

The RCS advanced messaging is similar to messaging apps like WhatsApp or Instagram; you can send texts, images, videos, buttons, carousels, and more. But the best part is that there’s no third-party messaging app needed. RCS messages go directly to a phone’s native inbox, just like SMS and MMS do.

RCS is a collaboration between Google and mobile operators around the world. Support for RCS is growing all the time. For more information, contact one of our experts.

Currently, all Android handsets that have the Google Messages (or Samsung Messages) app built into them as the SMS messaging client, support the RCS texting.

RCS protocol enables real-time message receipts, high-res images, video and audio. In addition, reply chips and carousels allow for simple browsing or scheduling.
