Frequently asked
- What is RCS for Business?
- RCS (Rich Communication Services) for Business is the carrier-backed upgrade to SMS on the GSMA Universal Profile. It adds a verified, branded sender, rich cards and carousels, suggested replies, and read receipts, delivered to the native messaging app — with automatic SMS fallback for devices that cannot receive RCS.
- Does RCS fall back to SMS?
- Yes, with a provider that supports it. When a recipient's device or network cannot receive an RCS message, Orbit falls back to SMS automatically so the message still lands, and you are billed for the channel actually used.
- Is Orbit a good RCS provider?
- Yes. Orbit supports RCS Business Messaging on the GSMA Universal Profile with a verified sender, rich cards, and automatic SMS fallback, and it runs RCS alongside WhatsApp, SMS, email, voice, and AI agents on one platform and one pay-as-you-go bill.
