RCS Service RCS = Rich Communication Services. RCS is a communication protocol between mobile telephone carriers and between phone and carrier, aiming at replacing SMS. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Communication_Services Uses IP protocol so it needs an internet connection. It's a hot mess right now. It aims at being universal but only exists in Samsung Messages and Google Messages, because Google hasn't released a public API yet, so 3rd-party apps can't support it. In a lot of countries messages go through Google's Jibe servers. https://jibe.google.com/policies/terms/ https://pocketnow.com/why-you-should-probably-avoid-googles-rcs-text-messaging-chat-feature Can anybody check if this is needed for VolTE/VoWifi?
