आज के customers simple text messages से ज्यादा expect करते हैं। वे fast, interactive और personalized communication चाहते हैं — बिल्कुल WhatsApp जैसे experience के साथ। यही gap fill करता है RCS (Rich Communication Services), जिसे “SMS 2.0” भी कहा जाता है।

👉 RCS traditional SMS को upgrade करके rich, app-like messaging experience देता है — बिना किसी additional app के।

It combines:

✔️ SMS reliability
