Prepare input
Keep the source identifier, use one record per row and verify the format with a small sample before a larger task.
RCS Screening for RCS capability signal & Carrier and line type
Use NumSift to classify phone records by available RCS, carrier and device-capability signals before rich-message planning. Interpret RCS capability by carrier, device and observation time; provisioning changes can move a number between RCS and SMS fallback states.

PRODUCT SCOPE
What RCS screening is designed to do
RCS capability check for classify phone records by available RCS, carrier and device-capability signals before rich-message planning.
Choose signals
This page focuses on RCS capability signal, Carrier and line type, Reachability classification, Device compatibility, rather than applying unrelated fields from another product.
Keep context
Export task time, unknown values and exception states so the result remains reviewable.
SUPPORTED CAPABILITIES
Screening capabilities covered for RCS
Fields can vary by task. Select only the capabilities the workflow needs and validate a small batch before submitting a full dataset.
RCS RCS capability signal
Classify returned RCS capability signals by check time and keep SMS fallback records visible.
Result groupRCS state, fallback state and observation time
RCS Carrier and line type
Add available carrier and line-type data without replacing the source phone number.
Result groupcarrier, line type and network region
RCS Reachability classification
Keep reachable, unreachable, unknown and exception states separate instead of forcing a binary result.
Result groupreachability state, check time and exception code
RCS Device compatibility
Separate available device-family or compatibility signals from records where the device cannot be determined.
Result groupdevice signal, compatibility and unknown state
RESULT GROUPS
What the output should make clear
Every result group should remain linked to its source record. Unknown, empty and task-exception values should stay separate instead of being converted into a negative result.

THREE-STEP WORKFLOW
From source data to reviewed RCS results
Prepare and sample
Preserve source values, normalize obvious format differences, remove exact duplicates and prepare a small sample.
Select the required capabilities
Choose the required items from RCS capability signal, Carrier and line type, Reachability classification, Device compatibility; avoid adding fields the decision will not use.
Review and export
Check field meaning, task time, unknown values and exceptions before importing structured output into another system.
PRACTICAL USE
Where RCS screening fits
Rich-messaging readiness
Create a dedicated RCS dataset for rich-messaging readiness, with source identifiers and task timestamps kept beside every result.
Decide how to separate RCS-capable signals from SMS fallback and unknown records
Use rcs capability signal, carrier and line type, reachability classification, device compatibility as separate review fields so one missing value does not erase the rest of the record.
Prepare RCS exports for downstream review
Export the original identifier, selected result fields, unknown values and exception states together so another team can reproduce the decision.
FAQ
RCS screening questions
What does the RCS capability check page cover?+
It explains how to classify phone records by available RCS, carrier and device-capability signals before rich-message planning, including the supported signal groups, input preparation, result interpretation and review boundaries.
What input should I prepare for RCS screening?+
Prepare authorized phone or account records. Keep one source record per row, preserve the original value and normalize obvious formatting differences before a larger task.
Which RCS results can be organized?+
This product page covers rcs capability signal, carrier and line type, reachability classification, device compatibility. The exact fields available depend on the selected task and may include unknown or empty values.
How should I use RCS screening results?+
Use them to separate RCS-capable signals from SMS fallback and unknown records. Check task time, field meaning and exception states before importing results into another system.
Does RCS screening prove consent or identity?+
No. Screening organizes returned technical or account signals. It does not prove a person's identity, create marketing consent or replace the rules that apply to the source data.
