RCS Business Messaging in Sweden
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 Sweden, RCS is more established than anywhere else in the Nordics, and adoption keeps climbing.
Today, RCS Business Messaging in Sweden is supported by all major operators - Telia, Tele2, Telenor and 3. It works on Android devices across all four networks, and since iOS 27 (September 2026) also on iPhones with Tele2 and Comviq - the first Swedish operator to switch RCS on for iOS. Telia, Telenor and 3 are expected to follow on iPhone, lifting reach further still.
With roughly 40% of Swedish mobile users already reachable - heading past 45% by the end of 2026 as more iPhones update to iOS 27 - Sweden is the most mature RCS market in the Nordics and a great fit for large-scale campaigns. With SendRCS, every message that can't be delivered as RCS automatically falls back to SMS, so you always reach 100% of your contacts.
