Telekom Message+ (RCS)

MESSAGE+ is your chat messenger combining SMS/MMS and RCS – all in the one app.

Exclusively for customers of Telekom Deutschland!

We discontinue the development of Telekom Android Message+ on January 1st, 2019. RCS is already integrated into the operating system of most smartphones. In case your phone doesn’t support the new features, please download Android Messages from Google PlayStore.

Off course, you can keep using Message+, however Message+Web and the AR functions won’t be available any more.

MESSAGE+
Encrypted individual/group chats based on RCS let users share photos, videos, music and locations and edit photos and whiteboard sketches, etc. Your 1:1 conversations can also be held in a thread via RCS, SMS and MMS. And all this in one app and without using up your data volume.

CALL+
The Call+ widget also enhances the Message+ app with new and useful additional call functionalities. This enhances your call experience and lets you mark calls as "important" – or display the reason for the call, a photo or your location while the phone is ringing. You can also hold video chats – without using up your data volume. And if no one answers, simply leave a text or voicemail.

CALL AND TEXT SIMPLY AND PRACTICALLY WITH MESSAGE+
Download the app onto your smartphone free of charge and make Message+ your standard calling and messaging app. Your text messages always reach their intended recipient, even if your friends aren't yet using Message+. Contacts also using RCS are displayed automatically with the Message+ icon.

SAVE DATA VOLUME
No other messenger can do this: Message+ does not use up your data volume – not even for video chats or when sending files.

SIMPLE AND FAIR
If you have a mobile phone contract with Deutsche Telekom, using Message+ (RCS) in the German mobile network or Wi-Fi network does not cost you any extra. Only customers with Xtra Call, Xtra Card or MagentaMobil Start without an SMS or data flat-rate have to pay 9 cents per message (text, photo, video, location, etc.). Receiving RCS chat messages is free of charge for all Deutsche Telekom customers in Germany as well as in EU countries (country group 1).

WE PROTECT YOUR PRIVACY!
As opposed to other messengers, you can rest assured that we will not pass your data and that of your friends on to third parties. You also retain the image rights. Thanks to the unique real-time comparison, your address list is neither saved nor copied. This means that Message+ is secure. Use is encrypted in the Deutsche Telekom mobile network as well as via Wi-Fi. Your mobile number and your RCS chat messages (text, photo and other file formats) are therefore protected during transfer.

RCS is available as apps from Deutsche Telekom and Vodafone for smartphones with iOS and Android. Like SMS, RCS is already integrated into the operating system in most smartphones with Android and Windows Phone 8 or 10. You can find out more at www.telekom.de/messageplus. If you are a customer of another mobile provider, e.g. Congstar, please contact customer service.

YOUR FEEDBACK
We look forward to hearing what you think on Google Play. You can also send e-mails to rcs@telekom.de. We appreciate your feedback – it helps us make the app better.

We hope you enjoy the app!
Your Deutsche Telekom
