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

Dear GuidoT, Swisscom can introduce the service without any problems, the Ericsson infrastructure, which is also used at Swisscom, supports the service without any problems, the “quality” is just an excuse.

As far as I’m concerned, you’re welcome to leave out RCS, I wouldn’t use it anyway, I haven’t sent SMS/MMS for 10 years, so why should I use RCS again? But it doesn’t always make a big announcement and then doesn’t deliver or throws a service onto the market and discontinues it within 12-18 months - that’s misleading customers.

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.

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.

@Chrisiboy There is no need for a business case. RCS will just come and you won’t notice. And nobody has a choice whether RCS or SMS. If the Natel supports RCS it will be activated. If not, it runs via an SMS-to-RCS gateway.
I have already written several times… Just find out,… what RCS is.

It is not an app or a competitor to the messenger service.

What do you want with RCS? Are you missing it? Certainly not. Is something not working? No.

Then why should SC rush into introducing something?

It doesn’t bring any real added value.

Of course, that’s why Swisscom isn’t introducing it yet… oh no, those are quality reasons. Sunrise and Salt don’t introduce it either, but they “monitor” the topic and the market.

Why should a carrier invest in RCS if there is no demand? Carriers want to make money, retain customers or have an advantage or want to get involved so that they at least don’t have a disadvantage compared to their competitors.

Earn money? Show me the application that justifies an investment.

Customer loyalty? Show me the customer in CH who leaves Swisscom or only stays with Swisscom because of RCS.

Advantage/disadvantage of competitors? Show me in CH which one has advantages or disadvantages.

So, it doesn’t make sense, there is no real need for it nationally or internationally, there is neither an advantage if you have it nor a disadvantage if you don’t have it. Conclusion: stillbirth.

By the way…I’m not waiting for RCS, as I said, I haven’t sent SMS/MMS for many years, I only receive any from Swisscom… Welcome to Germany and so on…

RCS is already implemented in some countries and is logical because it uses the same application as SMS / MMS (Messages). Swisscom would only create an application for Apple. Everyone has SMS / MMS (and therefore RCS) with them as standard. I already have Facebook Messenger because of Facebook and don’t want 10 different messaging applications) WhatsApp, Line..etc. Although Facebook has announced messaging compatibility between WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and Instagram, the project will not be up and running until the end of 2020. I would particularly welcome Swisscom, which has promised that the RCS will say yes or no that it will arrive. Having patience for two years is overkill. Just start it (or I want to be a tester). We pay enough to receive these basic services.
