Is there no internet connection available, or does either the sender or the recipient not have RCS enabled on their phone? Then the message will be sent as an SMS or MMS message.

Does RCS Use Data to Send Messages?

RCS Messages are sent over Wi-Fi or mobile data. Are you connected to a Wi-Fi network? Then you won't pay additional costs for using RCS.
