This followed a recent call from a group of bipartisan members of Congress for the Justice Department to open an investigation.
However, the Justice Department is already administer a four-year investigation into Apple’s alleged anti-competitive practices.

However, this does not solve the problems of sending and receiving SMS on iPhone for Android addict initially Android users will still have the green bubbles, this will also be the simplest version of RCS. This means that not all features available to Android users in RCS are available.
