Tells.co, an AI-powered messaging platform specializing in high-volume SMS and next-generation business messaging, has received approval to deploy RCS Business Messaging, positioning the company among the first platforms in the United States able to run production RCS campaigns for businesses. RCS, or Rich Communication Services, represents the most significant evolution of business messaging since SMS, enabling rich media interactions directly within a consumer's default messaging app.

Why it matters

The approval of Tells.co to use RCS Business Messaging is significant as it allows businesses to deliver app-like customer experiences through messaging, dramatically increasing engagement compared to traditional SMS. RCS is gaining rapid momentum following Apple's adoption of RCS support and growing carrier support across the United States, signaling a major shift in how businesses communicate with customers through messaging.

The details

Tells.co has already launched several advanced RCS capabilities designed for high-engagement marketing and customer communication, including AI-generated personalized video messages, interactive product carousels, verified branded sender profiles, and rich action links. These features allow businesses to deliver experiences that previously required dedicated mobile apps directly inside a text conversation.

• Tells.co received approval to deploy RCS Business Messaging in March 2026.
