Orange has selected Twilio’s expertise to facilitate this deployment. According to Twilio’s 2025 State of Customer Engagement Report, 3 out of 4 businesses intend to invest in RCS messaging this year, and 81% of consumers prefer RCS over traditional SMS.

As the natural evolution of SMS, the RCS protocol now functions on both Android and iOS devices, and supports features like images, carousels, actionable buttons, and detailed performance tracking. The partnership will enable businesses in France to boost customer engagement and maximize message reach. For the remaining segment of the mobile base not yet covered by RCS, Twilio ensures a seamless fallback to SMS and guarantees continuous service for all users.

Twilio Inc. (NYSE:TWLO) offers customer engagement platform solutions internationally. It operates through two segments: Twilio Communications and Twilio Segment.
