Google completed its rollout of RCS text messaging support on Android last week, and the service is now available on all carriers across the US. That means that if you’re in the country, you’ll be able to enjoy iMessage-style texting on your Android device.

To enable it, you’ll need to install the latest version of Google’s Messages app and Carrier Services. That’s it. Simply fire up Messages, agree to the Jibe terms of service, provide your phone number, and you’re good to go.
