RCS stands for “Rich Communication Services”. This value-add addition to SMS\/MMS has a plethora of benefits to offer for enterprises and consumers alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
RCS<\/a> has been in the making for quite some time. The IP-based standard was actually conceived back in 2007; the first specification was adopted by the mobile communications industry association GSMA<\/a> in 2008.
