Yes, that's how RCS works (either in Google Messages or Samsung Messages
and soon on Apple) but without needing an additional account, it uses
your phone number as ID, has fallback to SMS if your correspondent isn't
reachable by RCS.

Ok, I'm not sure what RCS is, or what it stands for. I'll have to look
it up.

And does it mean that if your correspondent is reachable by RCS there
will be no SMS charge? I must look at my Samsung smart phone to see if
I can get it to work.
