    I’d rather not use a meta application just to send an SMS. I have WhatsApp but it’s only for communication with overseas relatives.

    With RCS I don’t see the appeal of WhatsApp

      The appeal is: 100% of your family and friends use it. A good fraction of businesses use it for customer service too. Not using it will have you left out of a pretty big chunk of social life.

      WhatsApp works on Android (AOSP), while RCS only works on Google-approved versions of Android. But I am not about to use both.
