Support for Rich Communications Services (RCS)

The future of text messaging/sms/mms will be RCS. In Canada only Rogers/Fido have announced that they will be supporting this new standard starting soon.

Currently Telus is backing RCS but an annocement, commitment, or timeline of when they are planning to release RCS would be nice.

I'd really like to see this implemented, too.  I have a sinking feeling that even once it is implemented for Telus, it will be quite some time before it is made available to PM customers.  I hope that's not the case, but it's possible it will be.

Yes please!
I also don't get what Android 6.0 Visual Voice mail isn't availible in Canada. Be the first!
