Fair, let me buy a new phone to talk to one person instead.
fair. anyone who doesn't want to install Signal can reach me via text/SMS or RCS. those are the options.
deleted
Can signal interact with SMS? I felt like I had issues with that when I used it a couple years ago. May have been me.
@rhythmisaprancer @ijeff @Chozo @KLISHDFSDF @sour
pretty sure they removed sms support
Too bad.
Used to but not anymore. Anything sent over Signal is guaranteed to be secure. SMS/RCS doesn't provide any guarantees as SMS is not encrypted by default and RCS clients are all closed-source.
Like a telephone call?
Yeah, like a telephone call. But, not a telephone call.
Isn't a telephone call supported on all phones? If it isn't, then nothing is.
Oops, I did not add a "/s" because, I assumed both yours and the comment you had replied to were sarcasm. I missed the question mark on your comment. Phone calls are universal on every device supporting a compatible network (2G, LTE, 5G, etc).
