@hed RCS can/is SMS. RCS is “just” an extended SMS standard.

And or what Apple doesn’t want. They also wanted to introduce iMessage as standard.

Long live the sect. 😂

That’s clear to me and I didn’t want to advertise Apple, but I wanted to point out this passage in particular in connection with the statement made about outdated technology:

“Two-factor authentication via SMS is also part of everyday life in Switzerland and is often used, especially by banks and insurance companies.”

And for such applications, the old SMS without an extension to RCS will suffice for a very long time.

I’m angry Swisscom has been talking about the RCS since 2018 and we’re still waiting. This is the logical standard after SMS / MMS, which is still widely used by companies. Swisscom had to create a special application for the iPhone (I have a Sony Xperia 1). I don’t want WhatsApp because iO’s old competitor and I already use SMS/MMS (SOON RCS) and Facebook Messenger (because I have Facebook). That’s enough. We want RCS

And if you think you’ll get an answer from Swisscom, you can wait a long time.

Hello Swisscom, @SamuelD, @Anonymous and the others who promoted RCS here. I’m a little disappointed in you because I believed in your announcement. As a developer at an ISP myself, I know how difficult it is to meet deadlines on complex projects. But I would have expected better communication from you. With your posts here in the forum you have only unsettled your customers.

It still applies, we are working on it, but we are simply not satisfied with the quality yet. And unfortunately Apple is still not on board.

Swisscom first has to think about what they will do with the billions in profit…😂

No, because we use it to pay for network construction.

RCS will never make money from private customers. RCS is not interesting because there are too many free apps. There may be applications in the business environment, but they have not yet been found. The few users who are screaming here certainly don’t pay the costs for introducing the service and that’s why Swisscom hasn’t introduced the thing yet

It is the logical and official suite of SMS/MMS that needs to be introduced. We also regret OK

@Chrisiboy This is not correct. We haven’t introduced it yet because the quality wasn’t enough for us. Unfortunately, Apple is not participating (yet). It’s always a trade-off, because if we switch it on, we probably won’t get it off the network again because it will then find a user base. So it has to make perfect sense when we introduce something.

You can see it clearly with the topic of VoLTE. We introduced it because it makes perfect sense. Unfortunately, not all device manufacturers support the service or do not enable it. Who will be held responsible for this later? The device manufacturer? No, us. The same will happen with RCS too. Therefore, you need a good basis to start with. #we’reworkingonit

What can I say about that? You can believe me or not. You are free. And we’ve always said that we’re working on it and I think our communications department once gave a deadline. However, I wasn’t so happy with that. However.

Dear GuidoT. No, I really don’t believe you about the quality, unless you mean the security gap that became known in November 2019.

No, I don’t mean that, because that was a massive exaggeration (again). Well, I can’t and don’t want to force you. 😉 Everyone can believe whatever they want. As the person (still) responsible for the product, I can’t do more than provide information. Everyone should understand that I am not posting a list of problems. Especially since the product has so far only been used in internal tests.

No, you can’t. It’s okay that you don’t say anything more, you can also ask old colleagues. 😉

You’re welcome to do it. It would be interesting to see what they would say. They shouldn’t actually say anything, but that’s another topic.

Relationships only harm those who don’t have them.

Boring, I don’t think anyone cares, especially Swisscom customers, who pay the highest subscription prices in Switzerland and would have a right or, in other words, Swisscom’s obligation to finally admit the answers that are asked in the questions… again and again Apple is not Then you just have to make an app for iPhone, Guido T apparently solved it that way.

When will RCS come from Swisscom in Switzerland, please give a meaningful answer,

sometimes at the end of 2018 and then again in 2019, a company as big as Swisscom doesn’t know a better answer,

Likewise, Guido T’s answer seems to be even more responsible at the moment. a certain amount for this project

It is unclear what should or will not become of Swisscom’s RCS in the future. I think not all Swisscom customers will continue to reward this with customer loyalty…

People, people, people…

What do you expect from RCS?

It’s just an extended SMS standard.
Not much more.

Of course there are a few things that are interesting with RCS.

But those who only use Whatsapp complain that there is no RCS.

Manmanman.

And how should Swisscom earn money with RCS?

The mental diarrhea posted here is sad. Sorry.

Please find out what RCS is and what added value it has.

I’m telling you, RCS is a fun thing, but nobody needs it. Since it doesn’t really catch on and no one (at least private individuals) wants to pay, it doesn’t happen. That has nothing to do with quality, the business case is missing, otherwise it would have been there for a long time.
