RCS Fallback — Universal Mobile Outreach
Secure 100% message delivery rates. If a user device doesn’t support RCS, our gateway automatically converts it to a standard SMS text.
TL;DR — Summary
Why is automated RCS-to-SMS fallback critical?
RCS is active on Android, but some users may be offline or on devices without RCS capability. Our systems check network status and switch delivery to SMS text within seconds.
This keeps your transactional pipeline 100% reliable without adding routing complexity to your backend application.
