Why can't you use a mix if SMS and Simplex chat or signal/molly? I guess I don't understand the love of imessage

Also you don't need google to use android

Having a unified app that supports your message protocol with SMS fallback is legitimately great. I'm still bitter signal canned that feature.

But it isn't that big of a deal to just use two apps. It's what I've had to do for a while now. Anyone I actually know goes into signal, and I use SMS for my boss, my dad, and various companies.
