    I live outside of the United States but I’m from there. I like the bubble colors so I can make sure I’m sending free iMessages instead of paid sms messages.

    It’s unclear whether rcs will charge for international texts.

        People who don’t live in the US anymore but still need to message people in the US.

      RCS doesn’t charge for international texts on Android. I’ve used it for international texting.

        Thanks! I kinda assumed that it wouldn’t. But I also know how telecoms try to charge for everything.

      It’s not unclear. RCS is not SMS in the same way that iMessage is not SMS, so why would you be charged for it?
