Comment on Pressure grows on Apple to open up iMessage
dustyData@lemmy.world 11 months agoSo does your data service. You have to pay the carrier to have Internet in the cellular network. Do you think that iMessage work with faeries carrying the messages around?
Truly the only reason RCS is pushed by the carriers is because of RBM, to monetize business to client communication. But it’s no better nor worse than WhatsApp for businesses.

Works over any internet eg wifi. You don’t need to have a carrier subscription at all to use iMessage.

And RCS works when you don’t have internet. What part of everything has pros and cons and it doesn’t make alternatives go away you don’t understand? what’s this need to simp for Apple? I don’t give a fuck about Apple, I just want the modernization of SMS.

Or SMS should just die….
And how does RCS work without internet? It doesn’t work without connectivity to the cellular IMS. RCS only works on 4G and 5G. It doesn’t work on 2G/3G service which in the US is being phased out, but still exists in lots of places.
