It's built into the default messaging app on supported phones, so customers can receive messages with a verified sender profile, images, videos and files without downloading another app. respond.io supports RCS through Twilio. > Learn how to [Connect Twilio RCS to respond.io](https://respond.io/de/help/rcs/twilio-rcs-quick-start) ## Pricing Twilio RCS operates on a **pay-as-you-go** model. Users are billed directly by Twilio, with no additional charges from [respond.io](https://respond.io). In the US: * **Text messages:** $0.0083 per segment, outbound and inbound * **Media messages:** $0.022 per message outbound and $0.0165 per message inbound For accurate and up-to-date pricing, visit the [Twilio pricing page](https://www.twilio.com/en-us/sms/pricing/us). > **Carrier fees** are charged on top of these rates and vary by the recipient's carrier. US carriers also charge onboarding fees when you launch an RCS Sender. These appear in your Twilio billing. ## Coverage Not all regions support RCS yet. Whether a Contact can receive RCS messages depends on their country, their mobile carrier and their device. Check [Twilio's RCS documentation](https://www.twilio.com/docs/rcs/regional) for supported countries and carriers. ## Channel capabilities ### Supported message types | Type | Supported formats | | -------- | ----------------------------- | | Text | — | | Image | JPEG, JPG, PNG, GIF | | Video | MP4, MPEG4, MPEG, WebM, H.263 | | Audio | MPEG, MP3, MP4, M4A, OGG | | Document | PDF | ### Messaging window RCS has no messaging window.
