What Bland does inside SMS & RCS.
Verified profile, buttons, and cards on RCS
Shared memory with voice agents
A2P handled for Bland numbers; BYOT supported
How it deploys.
Pick or buy a number in the messaging dashboard and attach a pathway or persona.
For Bland numbers, A2P registration and the Twilio Messaging Service link are handled for you. Work with your AE to add an RCS profile for rich messaging.
For BYOT, set up your A2P campaign in Twilio and pass the Messaging Service SID.
Bland sends RCS when the recipient supports it and falls back to SMS automatically.

Frequently asked questions.
Is SMS & RCS available on every plan?
Messaging is an Enterprise feature. Talk to your account executive or book a demo to switch it on.
How is SMS & RCS priced?
Messaging is priced separately from per-minute voice, billed per message on SMS. Enterprise deals are contracted; talk to our team for a quote.
Can the agent remember a voice call when the customer messages back?
Yes. With memory on, the same contact is recognized across voice, SMS, RCS, and iMessage, with one history of facts, summaries, and open items.
How is conversation data secured with SMS & RCS?
Bland is SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA ready. Conversation data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Enterprise plans support optional residency controls.
Who actually wires this up?
