Where the two differ.
Weigh both sides. The bar shows how the reasons stack up.
- US-only focus with direct connections to all three US national carriers.
- Published pricing instead of contact-us quotes.
- US-based support aligned to US business hours.
- White-glove US carrier and 10DLC approval handled for you.
- Same price for API and app, every feature included.
A comparison that only lists our strengths is not worth reading. These are things LINK Mobility offers that SimplyRCS does not, stated as facts.
- LINK Mobility has carrier coverage across European markets.
- LINK Mobility supports cross-border messaging programmes in EU markets.
- LINK Mobility runs email and WhatsApp alongside SMS and RCS.
- LINK Mobility has its own message builder, MyLINK Studio, and a European RCS case-study record.
What LINK Mobility charges for RCS
LINK Mobility does not publish pricing. There is no public rate card for RCS or SMS (its /pricing URL returns a 404) and no self-serve signup, so every number comes from a quote after a sales conversation.
| What you are billed for | LINK Mobility | SimplyRCS |
|---|---|---|
| Per-message RCS rate | Not published, quote only | $0.0039 per text segment, $0.0150 per card or media message |
| Platform fee | Not published | None; software free, no monthly agent fee |
| Setup fee | Not published | One-time $250 RCS Sender ID setup and review per sender, waived with optional Premium Support at $250/month |
| Carrier fees | Not itemised publicly | Passed through at cost, on their own line |
| Primary market | Europe, headquartered in Oslo | United States only |
| Commitment | Not published | None, no contract or monthly minimum |
Checked on 7 October 2026 against LINK Mobility's RCS page, which offers only "Book a meeting" and "Contact Us". Verify current pricing with LINK Mobility directly.
For a US buyer the geography matters more than the rate card here. LINK Mobility is a European operator with deep coverage across European networks, built for businesses messaging customers across several European countries. A business whose audience is entirely on AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile needs direct US carrier connectivity and someone who files its brand and campaign registrations with The Campaign Registry. Qualify on where your customers are rather than on where your company is.
If you do run a quote, ask for the rich text and rich media rates separately, whether US carrier surcharges are passed through at cost, and what the minimum term is. Our equivalent numbers are published on the pricing page, itemised per billing transparency, and the category-wide breakdown is in RCS pricing by provider.
What migration involves
Moving from LINK Mobility covers three things: the numbers, the registrations behind them, and a cutover window.
- Numbers. SimplyRCS ports your US long codes, toll-free numbers and short codes from LINK Mobility. Long codes and toll-free numbers carry no carrier migration fee. Short-code migrations carry carrier-set fees, passed through at cost: $500 at T-Mobile, $250 at Verizon and $150 at Claro.
- Registrations. Your 10DLC brand and campaign registrations and your verified RCS agent are tied to LINK Mobility as the provider and do not move with the number, so SimplyRCS re-files them for you.
- Account details. LINK Mobility routes accounts through its sales team and publishes no self-serve portal details, so the list of US numbers, short codes and current registrations comes from your LINK Mobility contact before porting starts.
- Cutover. LINK Mobility traffic keeps running while the new registrations are approved, and both providers run in parallel until the first verified send on SimplyRCS. SimplyRCS charges nothing for the overlap.
A US business that wants a platform tuned to US carriers and US regulation, with pricing on the page and a team in your time zone, rather than a Europe-first provider. Common in US financial services and retail. Comparing other global providers? See SimplyRCS vs Infobip and SimplyRCS vs Sinch.
