RCS support in Messenger going live for some T-Mobile users

RCS, short for Rich Communication Services, has been aiming to replace SMS for years. But unlike the universal SMS standard, there are multiple RCS implementations that don't work with each other. Google has been working to solve this, by adding RCS support to Google Messenger and working with carriers to implement Jibe's 'Universal RCS Profile.'

Right now, only Sprint and Rogers support the Jibe RCS profile, but T-Mobile may be next. Multiple T-Mobile customers on Reddit, Twitter, and Google+ have reported seeing the RCS activation popup in Google Messenger.
