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.

I signed up very early and it was based on an episode of All About Android on TWiT. Messages just weren't going through. Mine out and others in to me. There was an emergency and someone really needed to get ahold of me and I didn't get the message. After that I dropped signal.

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.
