The teleco stack will switch to IP based completely with 5G, makes no sense to keep RCS in old circuit-switched based SMS. Soon no data will mean no calls/text/

- zinekeller 6y agoAnd how many years this will last? Mind you that while some countries are already solely running on 4G, there are other countries still having a large 2G phone usage and large 3G data usage. It is only fair to compare it to this - otherwise it would be unfair to those who rely on older technologies to connect to the world. I need to point out that I do not really disagree with RCS' intent - but Google aggressively trying to promote RCS outside of commited carriers is not just weird but can be dangerous.
- harpratap 6y agoWe can't keep supporting old tech in new world. 2G and 3G is already two decades old, we gotta move on. And I am not talking about killing SMS. 2G/3G will still support SMS, only 4G/5G has to adopt to RCS and use SMS as fallback (like it already does) Having RCS is still better than being in current situation where you're locked into Whatsapp/iMessage/Some proprietary solution from a carrier
