From verified branding and interactive buttons to carousels and clickable images, it brings a whole host of features you&#8217;d expect from popular chat apps (like WhatsApp or iMessage) directly into your customers&#8217; native messaging inbox without an app download. It simply needs a Wi-Fi or data connection, and if not, you can choose for it to fall back to its trusty SMS partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"padtop30\">How does RCS differ from SMS?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>RCS isn\u2019t a replacement for SMS. Business SMS remains an undisputed cornerstone for mission-critical communication. It doesn&#8217;t require wifi or data connection, it works reliably on handsets with signal and boasts <a href=\"https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/sms-marketing-features\/delivery-reporting\">incredible delivery rates and reporting<\/a>.<br><br>RCS simply adds a layer of branding and interaction on top of those trusty foundations. Your messages can feature your business&#8217;s verified logo, name, and even brand colours to build instant trust and recognition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"padtop30\">What are the features of RCS?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"padtop20 pink\">Branded &#038; verified sender ID<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Brand name, logo and verified tick to show you\u2019re a trusted and registered agent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"546\" src=\"https:\/\/firetext.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-2-1024x546.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4599\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-2-1024x546.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-2-300x160.png 300w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-2-768x410.png 768w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-2-1536x819.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-2-2048x1092.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"padtop20 pink\">Interactive buttons<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Quick replies, links, triggers a sequence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"546\" src=\"https:\/\/firetext.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/rcs-interactive-buttons-1024x546.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4604\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/rcs-interactive-buttons-1024x546.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/rcs-interactive-buttons-300x160.png 300w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/rcs-interactive-buttons-768x410.png 768w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/rcs-interactive-buttons-1536x819.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/rcs-interactive-buttons-2048x1092.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"padtop20 pink\">Single card<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Photo card with the option for a headline, content and clickable choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"padtop20 pink\">Multiple cards (carousel)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Multiple photo cards with the option for a headline, content and clickable choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"546\" src=\"https:\/\/firetext.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-4-1024x546.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-4-1024x546.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-4-300x160.png 300w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-4-768x410.png 768w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-4-1536x819.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-4-2048x1092.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"padtop20 pink\">Videos &#038; gifs<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>From intros to demos, customers can easily digest your content with media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"546\" src=\"https:\/\/firetext.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-5-1024x546.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4602\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-5-1024x546.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-5-300x160.png 300w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-5-768x410.png 768w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-5-1536x819.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/image-5-2048x1092.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"padtop20 pink\">Two-way conversations<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Conversations via free-form content, suggested replies or keywords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"padtop20 pink\">Open &#038; click analytics<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>An easy overview of click journeys as part of the whole interactive experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"padtop30\">Want to find out more about RCS?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>FireText&#8217;s has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/link-mobility-acquires-firetext\/\">joined forces with Link UK<\/a> to unlock advanced messaging tools with Alannah&#8217;s support.
