With a Conversational RCS Agent, a conversation opens the moment one side replies to the other. Until then you only pay for the messages you send, and incoming messages are always free.
The 24h conversation model only applies to Conversational RCS Agents. For Non-conversational agents, charging is always per message - regardless of whether the recipient replies.
You choose the agent type when applying for your RCS sender profile.
Learn more about RCS agent typesSendRCS is pay-as-you-go: no subscription, no minimum term and no setup fees. You only pay per message sent. The price depends on the recipient's country and the message type - RCS Basic Text, RCS Rich Text, RCS Rich Card, RCS Rich Carousel or SMS. All current prices per country are listed in the tables on this page.
Not necessarily. Both RCS and SMS are billed per message and per recipient country. RCS Basic Text (RBM Basic Message) is priced at or close to the SMS rate in most countries, while rich formats such as Rich Cards and Carousels (RBM Single Message) cost more per message. Compare the tables above to see the exact difference for each country.
You pay RCS prices for RCS recipients and SMS prices for SMS fallback. When a recipient cannot receive RCS, SendRCS automatically sends the message as an SMS and charges the SMS price for that country instead of the RCS price. There is no extra fee for the fallback itself.
Testing is always free. Registering a verified RCS sender and sending to your test phone numbers costs nothing - test numbers are usually activated within minutes. In some countries the mobile network operators charge a one-time setup fee to take a sender live. You will see the exact fee for your country when you apply to go live with your RCS sender. There is no minimum contract. Final verification by the operators takes approx. 2-6 weeks depending on country and operator.
No. Incoming messages are always free, and a message from a contact never opens a conversation on its own. If a contact writes to you and you do not reply, nothing is charged. With a Conversational RCS Agent, a conversation opens when one side replies to the other. The conversation price is then charged once and covers all messages in both directions for 24 hours.

A message from a contact that you do not answer costs nothing.
