Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime has now been launched on T-Mobile and it’s the first device from the carrier that supports Advanced Messaging features, these new features from T-Mobile are based on the Rich Communications Services (RCS) standards which significantly improve the text messaging experience on smartphones. T-Mobile is selling the Galaxy Grand Prime for $189.99 or $0 down and 23 equal monthly installments of $7.92 and $7.83 for the 24th month.
Text messaging isn’t as popular as it once used to be primarily due to the widespread use of instant messaging applications that are capable of running on the lowest of low-end smartphones and even feature phones. So when apps like Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Skype and Snapchat are present not many people are going to pay attention to text messaging apps from wireless carriers, T-Mobile has set out to change that with Advanced Messaging which brings supports near real-time chat, rich 1 on 1 and group messaging, the ability to share high-res photos and videos up to 10MB within text messages and even seen when others are typing and when a messaging is delivered and read.
