Use another messager app through FDroid. Literally, an app that handles your texts. You can change that.
even signal can do sms messaging from what i understand
I think Matrix can iirc.
Hol’ up matrix can sms?
They dropped support for it. Not sure why. It used to be supported.
To me, all of those reasons are BS and easily gotten around. “Unexpected messaging bills?” Have a popup that warns you that this user doesn’t have an account and is about to send a SMS, potentially incurring a cost, as an example.
They just didn’t want to maintain the code and chased some users away. https://www.signal.org/blog/sms-removal-android/
They dropped it because people assumed it was secure just because they used signal, and is never secure and you can assume pretty much anyone could be reading your texts wanyway.
Thank you for this! Didn’t know it was a thing, I’ll do that.
