Off Topic- SMS Service
-
I am steeling myself for the fact that our newly acquired Pinephones and newly acquired Pixel 3a phons just might not get us reliable SMS in a rural area with spotty service and only one provider. We are trying some more SIM cards this week, but I am skeptical. Are any of you familiar with safe, spy-free, SMS services that we could use/pay for, that would be an alternative to the Pinephone oR UT on Pixel 3a actually having worKing SMS? feeling discouraged over four weeks in to thus transition....

@nutmeg Did that research for the upcoming VoLTE problem. There are options, but the best for UT would be:
Voip.ms - currently does not handle mms well, sms is excellent
JMP.CHAT - does mms and sms well using XMPP clients in UT
Both will cost $2-$3 a month depending on what you sign up for. They are Voip providers who will also give talk capability if UBports doesn't solve the VoLTE problem by then, which I think they will.
