@womble It's automatically enabled on most modern android devices and as far as I understand iPhones too. I would assume either the phone that is sending the messages just enabled it seemlessly with w/e API they are using to dispatch messages, or that they are assuming (probably correctly) that whatever carrier side spam filtering exists on the SMS end does not get applied on the RCS end

@benjojo oooh, yeah, carriers might have a harder time filtering it... didn't think of that. I'd be surprised if it were due to device support, since bulk messaging is not fun if you use a real phone.

@benjojo When I got an RCS capable phone I started getting much more spam that I did just through SMS. Turned it off and it dropped again. As I know exactly nobody who uses it it's stayed off ever since.
