What is RCS messaging
RCS, or Rich Communication Services, is the modern upgrade to SMS. It carries longer messages and sharp photos instead of squeezed-down images, shows read receipts and typing indicators like a modern chat, and puts your business name on the message so customers know it’s really you. If someone’s phone can’t use RCS, Dialbird sends a normal SMS instead.

Frequently asked questions
What is RCS messaging?
RCS, or Rich Communication Services, is the modern upgrade to SMS. It supports longer messages, high-quality photos, read receipts, typing indicators, and your business name on the message.
How is RCS different from SMS?
SMS squeezes photos and shows no delivery detail. RCS sends sharp images, adds read receipts and typing indicators, and brands the message with your business name, so it feels like a real conversation.
What if a customer's phone doesn't support RCS?
Dialbird sends your message as a normal SMS instead, so everyone hears from you either way. You don't have to choose.
Do I need anything special to send RCS?
You send it the same way you send any text in Dialbird. It goes out as RCS automatically when the recipient's phone supports it.
Will my business name show on the message?
Yes. With RCS your business name shows on the message, so customers know it's really you and not an unknown number.
Can I send photos over RCS?
Yes. RCS carries sharp, high-quality photos rather than the squeezed-down images plain SMS sends.
Does RCS work on every phone?
RCS support depends on the person's phone and carrier. When it isn't available, Dialbird automatically falls back to SMS so your message still arrives.
