Only “benefit” of RCS I’ve seen is the avalanche of spam from companies. I’ll be turning it off. Don’t text that much anyway.

How do you get so much spam? Where are you from? I want to understand since usually I get no spam at all…

Apparently it’s a problem in some countries. I have read many Indians complaining, for example. I myself have never received any spam though (Europe).

i mean sms messages are extremely expensive and when you need to contact someone over sms rcs can be a life saver

I didn’t know you could even get a phone subscription without unlimited calls, sms, and mms anymore.

After a bit of looking I couldn’t find any subscription without it.

I actually have a dirt cheap $15/mo Public Mobile Canada plan that has 250MB data and 100 minutes… and even that has unlimited SMS.

well I’m in ukraine, don’t know anything about us.
yeah, all plans have unlimited calls (within the same carrier) but not sms (which usually cost around 2 cents/message) here
sms is basically dead anyway… (it’s basically just a confirmation code delivery system)

Can confirm. With rcs on I get more messages from fucking insurance companies than my own people. Fuck Google and fuck their products.
