What is RCS Chat Service?
RCS (Rich Communication Services) is the evolution of traditional SMS — combining the reach of texting with the power of chat apps. It's like an upgraded version of SMS where instead of plain text, you can send photos, videos, buttons, maps, and even payment links — all inside the phone's default messaging app.
It feels like WhatsApp or Messenger, but built right into SMS — with no app download required.
