Frequently asked questions
Still have a question?
RCS (Rich Communication Services) is the messaging standard built into Google Messages on Android. It upgrades plain SMS to branded messages: your verified name and logo at the top, pictures, carousels and buttons, and delivered, read and click receipts on every message.
An SMS shows a number or a short code as the sender and carries plain text with a bare link. An RCS message shows your verified brand, carries pictures, carousels and buttons, and tells you who read it and who tapped. Customers can reply too, so it becomes a two-way chat.
Android phones with RCS turned on in Google Messages, on networks that support it. That is most, but not all, Android users on major Indian networks; iPhones on most Indian networks do not get it yet. Where number checks are available, you can see which numbers on your list can get RCS before you send, and reach the rest on WhatsApp or SMS.
RCS is charged per message from your wallet, at the price set for your sender, separate from WhatsApp. A message the network refuses is not charged, and one that is accepted but cannot be delivered is refunded automatically.
The application takes about 20 minutes if your documents are ready: your GSTIN, a live website with privacy, terms and contact pages, a support phone and email, your logo and a banner. The networks then review it, typically in 3 to 7 working days. You can build templates and contact lists while you wait.
The message fails with a clear reason and is refunded. It never goes out as an SMS on its own. In Splashify Pro, a WhatsApp broadcast can send RCS, SMS or both to the customers whose WhatsApp message failed, in the order you choose.
Yes, for promotional senders. The networks allow promotional RCS between 7:00 am and 10:00 pm IST. A campaign still running at 10:00 pm pauses by itself and carries on at 7:00 am. Transactional and OTP senders can send at any hour.
No. Your customers need only the messages app on their Android phone. On our side, RCS runs inside Splashify Pro next to WhatsApp, and businesses that send only RCS can use our standalone RCS panel.
Loans and credit, cryptocurrency, gaming, and betting or gambling are not allowed on RCS in India, however the message is worded.
Yes. Send only to people who agreed to hear from you; the app asks you to confirm it before every campaign. Anyone can reply STOP to stop your messages and START to get them again. Those two replies work on every sender and cannot be switched off.
