Abstract:

A method and system for providing interoperability for Rich Communications Suite/Systems (RCS) messaging. If a target network device cannot receive RCS messages, electronic messages are modified on an RCS message application to include an electronic link to an RCS interoperability application. The RCS interoperability application independently provides seamless, rich multi-media RCS functionality to the target network device when the electronic link is activated in the modified electronic message. The RCS interoperability application provides two-way RCS message communications between target network devices without RCS functionality and target network devices with RCS functionality.
