RCS Support

[jpar]

As more carriers shift to supporting RCS messaging on Android, Public Mobile should do this as well. Not sure if Telus has said anything about it yet, but it's coming to Rogers and Fido. It enables many features that OTT messaging services (Whatsapp, Telegram, iMessage) has, but on a more universal platform that will eventually replace SMS.

Since everybody I know has already replaced RCS functionality with a third party app, I think it's very much "too little, too late", I still bravo'd because I certainly can't HURT to have it. 🙂

Hey, I dunno, a lot of people I talk to still use SMS 😉
