How is chat (RCS) billed?

How is RCS billled? As data? as SMS? as MMS?

Hey @flagpole 

Billed as data and come out of data allowance, sent out and received over the internet.

See here for confirmation: Message + Terms of Service

seems like a bit of a trap. that you could concievably end up being billed for an mms when you meant to send a message as data...

Thanks for your help 😀
