Wellington, New Zealand's capital, is the seat of Parliament and the public service and a centre for professional services and technology.

What Our RCS Messaging Service Includes
- Two-way conversations: Customers can reply inside the messaging app, and replies can be routed to a bot or your team.
- Read receipts & analytics: See delivered and read status, button clicks and replies to measure engagement more accurately than SMS.
- SMS fallback: If a recipient's device or network does not support RCS, the message can be delivered as a regular SMS.
