What are Rich Communication Services?

RCS differs from traditional SMS and MMS communication in several ways. It enhances consumer engagement by imitating over-the-top (OTT) messaging platforms such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and Instagram. RCS features include file transfers, typing notifications, emojis and voice notes.

Many mobile phones and service providers offer RCS capabilities to target a greater audience using similar functions. The features are integrated with the phone’s Messages app for easy access.

How RCS Functions Can Boost Consumer Engagement

Consumers are attracted to eye-catching content. RCS developers ensured this messaging protocol could help businesses reach consumers by supporting high-resolution content. Other functions that can help boost consumer engagement include:

Larger file sizes

Since RCS supports high-resolution pictures and videos, businesses can send larger files and GIFs for a personalized approach.

Unlimited characters

RCS has no character limit to allow unrestricted messaging.

App-like functionality

The phone's native messaging app lets users send and receive content other than texts, including polls, assessments, forms and PDF attachments. This feature allows them to access diverse content within the messaging app conveniently.
