Texting "RCS" and Texting "SMS"

[kickserv]

Every odd time I text my ex in Mexico, she always gets the messages when they arrive via "RCS" but sometimes she doesn't get em when I send em via "SMS". I admit I rarely text I am old school and actually pick up the phone and talk, I know weird right. So I am far from an expert on texting, so I have some questions for the expert Madjack texters....

1) What in the love of fuck is the difference between "RCS" and "SMS"?

2) Is there a way to always send a text via "RCS", or does the phone/cell carrier/etc/etc just automatically decide how a text is sent?

3) Does anybody else in Madjack land send texts that show up as "SMS", if so does it always go through?


Note: Maybe the issue is when one texts to international numbers? Any time I text somebody in USA or Canada I rarely have an issue.

Note 2: Anytime I send a text via "RCS" it always works, the issue sometimes pops up when a text is sent via "SMS".



And yes feel free to bash me for not knowing the difference between "RCS" and "SMS", as I said I rarely text, so yes I know nothing. Some fuckers text like once every minute, I ain't that guy, so yes bash away

And before anybody says anything......no my ex in Mexico does not block me, it has nothing to do with her, it is a technical issue. I mean yes she can't stand me most times, but no she doesn't have me blocked

SMS is an older, limited function way to text.

RCS has more bells and whistles and requires internet or wifi.
