For practical purposes, the process is identical: when registering the alias, you simply need to select the message type: SMS\/MMS or RCS. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you use both channels with the same alias, you can register it only once by indicating both message types. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Viafirma, we currently operate using SMS\/MMS.
