RCS Business Messaging in Norway
RCS (Rich Communication Services) is the modern successor to SMS. It lets businesses send branded, interactive messages - images, buttons, carousels and read receipts - straight to the native messaging app on a customer's phone. In Norway, RCS already reaches a solid share of users, and coverage keeps expanding.
Today, RCS Business Messaging in Norway is supported by Telenor and Telia. It works on Android devices, and Apple is expected to enable RCS for iPhones in Norway in autumn 2026 - which will push reach even higher.
With around 20% of Norwegian mobile users already able to receive RCS, it's well suited to larger campaigns and to brands with a Nordic footprint. With SendRCS, every message that can't be delivered as RCS automatically falls back to SMS, so you always reach 100% of your contacts.
