@signalapp You need to fix your metadata issues and use of email and/or phone number; I'm sticking with Threema and Session for the time being...

@signalapp I thought you guys would have changed your minds and "kept" the sms ability in your app. Otherwise I really do hope someone's able to fork the entire service with the old sms + encrypted capabilities

@EdHerdman @signalapp we have very different experiences all my business, family, and friend connections use signal by preference, with sms as a nuisance legacy issue, often only for dealing with mfa requirements by other apps i haven't sent an "actual" sms message in years

@signalapp any known issues preventing use in Costa Rica. I will be there soon and would like to stay away from WhatsApp (which is heavily promoted), if possible

@signalapp as a long time signal user. I'm disappointed to know signal no longer will offer sms service. Signal thinks that doing this may encourage more to switch to signal. 1% to 10% of people that will swap to signal. Sadly i will have to go back to a different provider.

@signalapp And now there is an old account that leads to nowhere with my same number and no history. Jeez getting a new phone is a terrible experience with you.

Hi @signalapp, There is something odd going on with app, and has been for several months. If I contact iOS Signal users - not a problem. But if I contact Android Signal users, some times I get one tick on the message. 1/2

@BukhaledAUH @signalapp #signalapp @signalapp It is still the ONLY way to chat with 100% of my friends and family. Any other service gives <10%. We understand the concerns, and if Apple ever concedes and supports RCS, then we'll be happy to swap SMS. Until then, Signal needs to just keep it.

So, what SMS app are folks using now that @signalapp has decided to make their terrible decision? Looking for suggestions.

.@signalapp You're making an error dropping SMS support. I've converted at least 100 people to Signal off of SMS to secure their messaging with ZERO impact to their habits. Now you're forcing them back to SMS app? They are going to quit using signal. No one wants to use two apps.

@signalapp removing SMS support is not going to help privacy when you lose a huge portion of your user base! And your rationale about "hidden costs" is a red herring - people already had those costs. Poor decision.
