Ability to Attach PDF Files with Texting with RC Phone App or RC App

Yes a person can send an Attachment when sending a SMS Text with the RC Phone App or with the RC App but that Attachment can't be a PDF File for some reason.

99.9% of what I need to send people are PDF Files

    Our product team has confirmed that current carrier limitations are preventing this from being developed at this time.

    This is completely absurd that a PDF cannot be sent via SMS. 99.98% percent of what we send are pdfs. Everything prints to PDF.

    Definitely need the ability to text a PDF. It is archaic that RingCentral has not implemented and has not made plans to implement this especially with the increasing demand for this type of file integration.

    PDF attachments to text messages are vital to my communication with construction trades. I have used other competitors to Ring Central, and they have the ability to attach PDFs to text messages. Please expedite this feature asap.

    I also requested a long time ago that the option of sending PDFs via RingCentral be returned. It used to be a feature and suddenly it was removed, I have reps on the road that need info that I send in a PDF format, and a lot of people use their phone for it, and now it is 10 times harder to communicate. please return the option of sending PDF files via ring Central . Thank you

    Please note, sending multiple messages through different channels does not expedite your request as they all go to the same place and are managed in priority sequence Monday - Friday 9am-3pm MST

    Desperately needed!!! Other text services provide this and handle it by automatically converting to a link to the PDF sent in the text.

    I would like to vote in favor of this but I click vote and it kicks me out. I don't know if that's because it under review. As a business platform attaching PDF files is essential!

    We need to be able to attach PDF file to Text. We work with drivers that respond better to Texts. They need to be able to access the orders via text. Our orders are always PDF format. We hope you can make this request possible. God bless.
