    I don't see the link. You said "RCS is forbidden as well", which is
    different of "not supported".

    I repeat it for you and Arlen: Nobody needs RCS and in particular nobody wants it. It is an inferior and insecure service. Full stop.


    So, you back out. RCS is not forbidden in Switzerland. Thank you.

    As for your other saying, millions of RCS users worldwide contradict you.

    How many users worldwide are estimated of RCS?

    As of early 2025, Rich Communication Services (RCS) has experienced
    significant growth in global adoption. In September 2024, Apple
    introduced RCS support with its iOS 18 update, adding approximately 900
    million potential users. This development, along with existing support
    on Android devices, has propelled the estimated number of active RCS
    users worldwide to over 2.1 billion. Looking ahead, projections suggest
    that by 2028, the number of active RCS subscribers could surpass 2.2
    billion globally. ​

    Is RCS forbidden in Switzerland?

    As of March 2025, there is no evidence to suggest that Rich
    Communication Services (RCS) is forbidden in Switzerland. RCS is a communication protocol designed to enhance traditional SMS messaging
    with features like read receipts, typing indicators, and high-resolution
    media sharing. Its adoption depends on mobile carriers and device
    manufacturers choosing to support it. While some countries have
    regulations affecting certain communication services, there are no
    reports indicating that Switzerland has banned or restricted the use of RCS.
