01 Quick answer

RCS business messaging worldwide with verified sender registration, branded rich cards, carousels and suggested replies, at the lowest available per-message rates across all supported countries.

RCS is what SMS should have been: your logo, your brand name, a verified tick, images, carousels and buttons, delivered to the normal messaging app with no install. It is already the default on most Android handsets, and Apple added support in iOS 18, so the reachable audience is now most of the market. Early movers are getting response rates SMS has not seen in a decade, at a price closer to SMS than to WhatsApp.

03 The Challenges

Problems we solve

The operational friction killing growth right now. Each one eliminated by what we build.

01

SMS that looks like spam

An unbranded six-character sender next to twenty others. A verified logo and brand name changes open rates immediately.

02

App install as the price of rich messaging

Push notifications need an app nobody downloads. RCS puts rich content in the inbox people already use.

03

Agent verification stalling

Google and the carriers both review the agent. We prepare the brand assets and use cases so it clears first time.

04 Capabilities

What the service includes

Verified sender, branded messages and rich cards in the default Android inbox

01
✦

Verified brand, not a number

Your logo, brand name, colour and a verification tick in the recipient's default inbox. The message is identifiably from you before it is opened, which is most of why RCS outperforms SMS.

02
✦

Rich cards and carousels

Images, video, product carousels, suggested replies and action buttons that call, open a map, add a calendar entry or deep-link into your app. All inside the messaging app.

03
✦

Read receipts and typing indicators

You see delivered and read per message, not just delivered. Reporting is closer to WhatsApp than to SMS.

04
✦

Automatic SMS fallback

Where a handset or network does not support RCS, the message falls back to SMS automatically and you are billed at the SMS rate. No audience is lost.

05
✦

Worldwide reach

Agent registration in every market where carriers have enabled RCS, including India, the Gulf, UK, Europe, North America, Southeast Asia and Australia.

06
✦

Lowest available rates

RCS basic messaging in India starts at ₹0.18. We price at the floor our carrier agreements allow and publish the bands rather than quoting per enquiry.

05 Rates

Indicative RCS rates by region

RCS is priced per message for basic and single messages, and per session for conversational. These are the bands we work within.

Indicative bands in INR, excluding GST. RCS availability depends on carrier enablement in each market — we run a reachability check on your own list before you commit. Messages that cannot be delivered as RCS fall back to SMS and are billed at the SMS rate.

07 What RCS is good at

What RCS is good at

Not every campaign needs rich messaging. These are the ones where it pays for itself.

01

Order and delivery updates

Product image, live tracking button and a rate-your-delivery reply. · Cuts the where-is-my-order calls that cost more than the message did.

02

Offers and launches

A carousel of products with buy buttons, inside the default inbox. · Response rates well above an equivalent SMS because the message is branded and visual.

03

Appointment and payment reminders

Add-to-calendar and pay-now buttons directly in the message. · Measurably fewer no-shows than a plain text reminder.

04

Verified identity for sensitive messages

Banks, insurers and government services where a spoofed SMS is a real risk. · The verification tick is the point.

12 FAQ

Frequently asked questions

RCS replaces SMS in the default messaging app on Android, and iOS 18 added support. You get a verified brand identity, images, carousels, buttons, and read receipts — none of which SMS can do. The recipient installs nothing.

India basic messaging starts around ₹0.18 per message, single-message RCS a little higher, and conversational sessions are priced per session. International runs roughly ₹0.60 to ₹4.00 depending on the market. The band table on this page covers every region.

Most Android handsets by default, and iPhones on iOS 18 and later. Reach varies by carrier and country; we run a reachability check on your actual list before you commit, so you know the split before you pay.

The message automatically falls back to SMS and is billed at the SMS rate. You never lose a recipient because of handset support.

Two to four weeks. Google verifies the agent and the carriers approve it per market. We prepare the brand assets, sample messages and use case documentation, which is where most first submissions fail.
