Signal Alternative with SMS Support (self.fdroid)

I used Signal for years and loved it, but I need SMS support to talk to, well, anyone I know. Is there a secure choice that's near-equal?

I've never heard of anything that offers secure messaging like Signal, and insecure SMS.

But there are lots of SMS apps that can be used along with Signal. No need for them to be the same app.

It was really convenient when you could just use one app.

That's my current setup, but Signal gets no use because I can't convince anyone to switch

When they dropped SMS support I went to qksms and SimpleX chat. I don't even have Signal anymore.

Sure was nice to have only one app.

Stay strong! Hopefully MLS will be its resurgence
