RCS Business Messaging
Turn messages into interactive customer experiences with RCS
Rich Communication Services (RCS) combines the global reach of SMS with the rich features of modern messaging apps. Verified sender identity, high-resolution images, interactive buttons, and read receipts, all delivered natively on every phone without an app to download.
What is RCS? Why brands are embracing it?
RCS is the next evolution of messaging. It upgrades traditional SMS and RMS text messages into richer, more interactive experiences inside the phone’s native messaging app. With RCS, brands can send images, carousels, suggested replies, file attachments, and one-tap actions that help customers quickly explore information or take the next steps.
RCS also brings experiences people expect from modern messaging apps like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Instagram, including read receipts, typing indicators, emojis, and richer media. Because it works directly within the phone’s messaging app and is supported by many devices and carriers worldwide, RCS allows brands to reach a broad audience while delivering more engaging messages.
Personalized communication
RCS removes the character limits and plain-text constraints of SMS so every message can be as rich and relevant as the moment calls for, triggered by real account events rather than campaign schedules.
Send longer messages without character limits or awkward truncation
Include high-resolution images, video and audio in the message itself
Trigger messages from real billing, payment and service events automatically
Tailor content to each customer's account situation, not a segment average
Brand consistency
RCS messages arrive with your brand already visible before a customer opens them. Every interaction reinforces who you are and builds the recognition that makes customers more likely to act.
Display your brand logo, name and colors in the message header
Arrive as a recognizable brand identity, not an unknown number
Maintain consistent visual standards across every RCS communication
Increase open rates through familiarity before the message is even read
Sender verification and trust
Every business RCS sender is verified before a message is sent. Customers see a confirmed checkmark that tells them the message is genuinely from your brand, not a spoofed sender.
All senders registered and verified through the GSMA Universal Profile standard
Verified checkmark displayed to customers on every message
Reduce hesitation driven by phishing and spoofing concerns
Build the trust that turns opens into action, especially for payment and account messages
Measuring impact and analytics
RCS delivers the engagement data SMS cannot. Every message produces a clear picture of how customers responded and what they did next.
Track delivery confirmation, open rates and read receipts per message
Measure button click-through rates to see exactly what drove action
Connect engagement data to downstream outcomes like payments and conversions
Use performance data to optimize timing, content and channel mix over time
