What is RCS Messaging?

RCS (Rich Communication Services) is the next evolution of business messaging, designed to replace traditional SMS with a richer, more interactive experience. Unlike SMS, which is limited to 160 characters and plain text, RCS allows businesses to send:

• High-quality images & videos
• Interactive buttons (Quick Replies, CTA buttons)
• Carousel cards (for product showcases)
• Location sharing & read receipts
• Chatbot integration for automated responses

RCS works on most modern Android devices and is supported by major carriers worldwide. It provides a WhatsApp-like experience but without requiring users to download a separate app.

Why RCS Matters for Businesses

• Higher Engagement – Visual and interactive messages grab attention better than plain SMS.
  
  
• Improved Customer Experience – Customers can take actions (like booking, purchasing, or chatting) directly within the message.
  
  
• Brand Trust & Recognition – Rich media (logos, branded templates) enhances brand visibility.
  
  
• Higher Conversion Rates – Click-through rates (CTR) for RCS are significantly higher than SMS.
