Works over any internet eg wifi. You don’t need to have a subscription to anything at all to use iMessage.
And RCS works when you don't have internet. What part of everything has pros and cons and it doesn't make alternatives go away you don't understand? what's this need to simp for Apple? I don't give a fuck about Apple, I just want the modernization of SMS.
Or SMS should just die….
And how does RCS work without internet? It doesn’t work without connectivity to the cellular IMS. RCS only works on 4G and 5G. It doesn’t work on 2G/3G service which in the US is being phased out, but still exists in lots of places.
