Samsung has released a new video in support of Google’s #GetTheMessage campaign which calls for Apple to adopt RCS or “Rich Communication Services,” the cross-platform protocol pitched as a successor to SMS that adopts many of the features found in modern messaging apps… like Apple’s own iMessage.
Oh, that's unfortunate. I understand why you dropped it after that experience. I can only tell you that they have massively improved and the experience is great now.
If it gets immensely popular I'd definitely consider using it again. Without SMS as a backup it isn't very useful. I converted a few people over to it initially and after that incident we all left. I'm not really interested in playing evangelist again.
