RCS is the next generation of business messaging – built to make your messages more trusted, measurable and engaging than standard SMS. Same platform. Same price. Bigger impact.
Your customers are getting harder to reach – and more suspicious of unknown numbers. RCS fixes that by giving your business a verified, branded sender profile complete with your logo, business name and a Google-verified tick. They know it's you before they read a word.
You'll also get read receipts, giving you full visibility into when messages are opened, not just delivered. So you can stop guessing, start optimising.
No extra cost, no new software – it's all available in your existing API.

SMS scams are on the rise – but 79% of consumers are more likely to trust a verified sender than an unknown one.
Verified senders get up to 7× higher CTRs than standard SMS. When customers trust who's messaging them, they're more likely to open, read and act.
RCS read receipts tell you when messages are opened – not just delivered. So you can measure engagement and time follow-ups with real data.
Every RCS message arrives with your logo, name and brand colours – building recognition and authority with every send.
For industries where every message matters – especially telecommunications, financial services, healthcare, real estate and legal. Ideal for sending:
ClickSend's RCS is currently in beta – which means early access for the businesses that move first. Your eligibility comes down to three things.
The US, UK, France, Germany, and Spain are good to go. Several other regions have partial support. Australia isn't currently supported for RCS – but watch this space.
Your customers' mobile carrier needs to support RCS. The good news – coverage is expanding fast across all supported regions.
Both Android and iOS support RCS – via Google Messages on Android, and natively from iOS 18 onwards. For handsets that aren’t eligible, messages automatically fall back to SMS – no gaps in delivery.

Sample message content and use cases
Most businesses don't know RCS is already live at ClickSend. Beta access is limited – and the businesses that register now will be verified, trusted and sending before their competitors have even heard of it.
