FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about RCS Business Messaging.

What is RCS Business Messaging?

RCS (Rich Communication Services) is the next generation of SMS. It enables branded, verified messaging with rich media, carousels, suggested replies, and read receipts—delivered in the default messaging app.

How is RCS different from SMS and WhatsApp?

Unlike SMS, RCS supports rich UI, branding, and interactivity. Unlike WhatsApp, RCS works in the native messaging app without requiring an install, while still offering verified sender identity and engagement metrics.

What happens if a device does not support RCS?

Sendexa automatically falls back to SMS when RCS is unavailable or undeliverable, so you maintain reach without managing dual channels yourself.

How does verified branding work?

Once your brand agent is approved, messages display your business name, logo, and verification badge. Customers can trust that messages truly come from your brand.

How is pricing calculated?

Pricing is per message (basic or rich). SMS fallback messages are billed at SMS rates. Volume discounts are available on Business and Enterprise plans.

Can I send carousels and suggested replies?

Yes. Business and Enterprise plans support rich cards, multi-card carousels, suggested chip replies, and suggested actions such as open URL or dial.

Which markets is RCS available in?

RCS availability depends on carrier and device support by country. Our team helps you launch where RCS is live and use SMS fallback everywhere else for full coverage.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. New accounts can send trial messages to test rich cards, fallback, and analytics before going live with production traffic.
