Feature parity
The feature parity table shows which RCS features are supported by Infobip products and mobile carriers. RCS is carrier-dependent technology - for a feature to work, both Infobip and the end user's mobile carrier must support it.
Use this table to verify feature availability before implementation. Check both the product section and the carrier section for your target market.
