Sort of right. RCS is carrier supported and can deliver the same service to any phone no matter the brand or OS. Something iMessage can't only other instant messenger apps as FB messenger, WhatsApp and so on can do this. So maybe RCS can be useful or maybe it's too late and WhatsApp and so on has already solved that problem.

That is why I use SMS if my message is important. Data coverage is not perfect where I live and SMS doesn't require data just the normal carrier signal. I have seen many instances of messages via apps that use data being delayed but SMS is mostly instantaneous. People also tend to ignore their messaging apps sometimes but they almost always read their SMS. For example delivery details are always sent via SMS when I order something online and that is definitely something I want to be aware of. Where I live we have both unlimited data and unlimited SMS on monthly plans, so it's nice to have the choice and not worry about costs in either case. Many people though still have prepaid plans which can run out of data after a week of binge watching youtube videos in HD and SMS suddenly doesn't seem so bad.

Well, my RCS Chat features have been working on the T-Mobile network for my Essential Phone since October of 2019. Since Google has been rolling it out to everyone without it having to be carrier dependant means more people can use it and that carriers have been sitting on this feature for their own selfish reasons.

Long time ago I had a phone where you could send messages in two different places. One was your text message which could only use 160 characters and then there was your multimedia section. I started sending my text messages through the multimedia side and then there was no limit as to how many characters I can use and it was cheaper at, as at that time I had to pay for each message.

Enjoyed the video,here in the UK.... Anyone know what the charges are for sending RCS to another RCS or does it go over the data....like pictures ,voice message

Just goes over data, no charges that I'm aware of.

Works very much like iMessage. If the other user is using RCS too it goes over data. If they haven’t got RCS switched on it will go as a regular SMS or MMS if you send a photo, video etc Only problem I’ve found is occasionally it tries to send it as a RCS even if the other user can’t receive it, so your message is kind of stuck and just shows as ‘SENT’

You can select how to send the RCS/Chat message if the first attempt fails, either send it as SMS/MMS, resend as SMS/MMS if not roaming, ask before sending or never send as SMS/MMS. As you see, you could desire to always send the Message, but if you have friends/family in other countries and either you or them at that moment doesn't have data connection, the message could go (depending on settings) via SMS/MMS and someone could get charged for a message that wasn't expecting to get charge with. Specially when the files can be a max of 105MBs, if you decide to send a few at the same time, depending on you plan, it will add up

So RCS is just an addition to other messaging apps that require internet? RCS will only be helpful if it works without data/Wi-Fi. SMS works even if the data and Wi-Fi are off. RCS will never replace SMS if it need internet.

The timestamps on messages are sending & being received out of order...I’ve tried to fix the problem. But nothing yet...it literally just happened out of the blue..it was fine for like two weeks then boom all jacked up..idk what to do..

Outside of the US, telegram and whatsapp are more popular. RCS is kind of dead on arrival. Even iPhone users don't use iMessage because majority uses Android phones and it's not worth it to keep switching apps to message different people. Groups are almost always on Whatsapp and Telegram

RCS is ooooold and didn’t catch up and outside the US, the Slot was filled by WhatsApp and co.

wasn't until we had truly unlimited text messaging that rcs really took off.. also, the carriers weren't so generous about MMS at first as it was a premium feature to send pictures/audio over chat/text message for quite a while (remember when it had to be sent over DATA connection so that it could be counted as part of your data plan?!). the carriers wanted to keep "data" plans monetized at a high ratio. Now there is aggregate data available to send multi media messages/chat so long as it is just those formats and not full video-- carriers still want to monetize rich web & video as killer apps.

Nothing but one more way for one company to get more user information to better target and market the same users.

I'm from Ireland. Couldn't care less about RCS since WhatsApp, Fb, telegram etc currently does and & continue to do a better job then RCS ever can regardless of iPhone or Android. The only thing my SMS system is used for are receiving services codes, for example 2FA login codes. RCS seems like a complete waste of money & is only being developed for silly Americans to adopt because they refuse to move to a third party smarter messaging system like WhatsApp. It amazes me how the whole world sees the US as one of the most modern & up to date tech countries and then I learn the vast majority of Americans use SMS for daily communication. Come on! 😂

And three years after this video Apple has decided to bring RCS support to iPhones from 2024

I know people who use government phones and they have limited data and some also don't have their own Wi-Fi, so will this make it impossible for them to communicate with other people if they have RCS and they run out of data?
