Old man yelling at clouds
SMS is a dead technology as it should be. It’s not private or secure in any way and the apps you listed probably just don’t give a fuck about implementing it in a way that is.
If Signal had just 1 person working on keeping it alive it would still be money that could be spent elsewhere. Like the username feature I had been patiently waiting for, which was delivered recently and is a great addition.
I’ve been waiting for them to update the hardware of the Omni’s but they are taking their sweet time.
As it stands I won’t buy a router for that price that is like 5 or 6 years old (or even older?)
