RCS
RCS seems to be the next big thing coming to texting. Any plans to move to RCS?

Totally agree on this, but need to clarify this for the average Joe/Jane. It's basically SMS/MMS on steroids....
RCS is a standardized protocol similar to iMessage (or WhatsApp/FB Messenger/etc) across a growing number of carriers & nations. It's now officially adopted by Sprint and signs of T-Mobile and AT&T in the near future. If/When this standard is adopted across most or all carriers, it will wipe out the exclusivity and issues associated with proprietary services like iMessage.
