RCS Business Messaging - Reach Every Customer on Their Best Channel
What is RCS business messaging? It's reaching customers with richer texts than plain SMS - read receipts, better media and a verified sender name. Sendara sends real iMessages (blue bubbles) to Apple users and uses RCS and SMS fallback for everyone else, straight from your CRM - so every message lands on the best channel that contact's phone supports. Flat $249/mo, no A2P wait.
iMessage, RCS and SMS - handled for you
iMessage (Apple)
Real blue bubbles with read receipts - the most trusted look on any iPhone.
RCS (Android)
Richer than SMS: read receipts, better media and a verified sender name on supported Android phones.
SMS fallback
If a contact's phone supports neither, your message still arrives as a standard text - no one gets missed.
You send once from your CRM. Sendara picks the best channel for each contact automatically - you don't manage three tools.
Why richer messaging beats plain SMS
Plain SMS looks the same whether it's from a friend or a spammer. RCS on Android and iMessage on Apple both add read receipts, a real conversation feel and a verified sender - so your message reads as trustworthy, not disposable.
iOS 26 also routes texts from unknown senders into a separate folder with no notification. iMessages are not affected by that filter - so leading with iMessage where you can gives your message a far better chance of being seen.
And there's no A2P registration to wait weeks for - Sendara gets you live within 24 hours, sometimes the same day.

RCS business messaging, answered
What is RCS business messaging?
RCS (Rich Communication Services) is the upgrade to SMS on Android - it adds read receipts, typing indicators, higher-quality media and verified business sender names. RCS business messaging means reaching customers with those richer texts instead of plain SMS. On Apple devices the equivalent is iMessage (blue bubbles).
How does Sendara handle RCS?
Sendara sends real iMessages (blue bubbles) to Apple users and uses RCS and SMS fallback for everyone else - so your message lands on the best channel each contact's phone supports, sent straight from your CRM.
Do I need A2P or 10DLC registration for RCS business messaging with Sendara?
No. Sendara does not put you through the A2P/10DLC registration wait that traditional SMS and RCS setups require - you can be live within 24 hours, sometimes the same day.
Is RCS better than SMS for business?
For Android users, yes - RCS supports read receipts, richer media and a verified sender name, so it reads as more trustworthy than a plain SMS. For Apple users, iMessage does the same job. Sendara uses whichever is best for each contact.
Which CRMs does Sendara work with for business messaging?
Sendara integrates natively with HubSpot, GoHighLevel, Close, Salesforce and Pipedrive - no paid add-on software.
How much does Sendara cost?
A flat $249/mo for your first line, $149/mo for each additional line, and a one-time $99 setup. Month-to-month, no annual lock-in - and the price is published, not quote-only.
