Yes, I might figure that out if/when Beeper starts to enshittify

Beeper is pretty good. I don’t have it mirror Signal because it kind of defeats the purpose, but works really well to unite WhatsApp, Instagram Messages, FB messages and various other ways people keep in touch with me without having to open the spammy apps involved

Yes it was extremely annoying. Had to dial in and do some very hacky phone code entry. Then it would work for a few months until they tweaked something on back end and it would cut out again. It was a shame as I actually liked Samsung Messages; I know people criticized it as duplicative, but it was cool how it would sync across devices, fit in with native one UI style, etc.

It did have RCS on T-mobile, though it was a bit restricted, couldn’t run on unlocked phones without some dial code tinkering. I gave up on it after a couple years
