Hi everyone,
Does anyone know if RCS is available in australia?
Have heard its not supported by the mobile networks is all.
Thanks in advance!

Braze uses Twilio for it's sms, Twilio does not support sending RCS to Australia based on the below:
https://www.twilio.com/docs/rcs/regional
However, Braze has built their own native RCS solution and Australia is also not listed as on of the 10 supported Countries - I'm going to go out on a limb and say not possible at this time, but I would suggest pinging your Braze rep.https://www.braze.com/docs/user_guide/message_building_by_channel/sms_mms_rcs/rcs/rcs_setup/#step-1-meet-the-eligibility-criteria
https://www.braze.com/resources/articles/introducing-braze-native-rcs-supportThere is partial support on Android - see Telstra’s launch of Australia’s first RCS service (https://www.gsma.com/solutions-and-impact/technologies/networks/digest/telstra-launches-australias-first-rcs-service)
However, there is currently no support on iOS - see this update on the lack of RCS availability for iPhones in Australia (https://eftm.com/2025/08/rcs-messaging-still-not-available-for-iphones-in-australia-265617)
