With simple messager selling out & qksms no longer being actively worked on. What’s our options for open source sms messagers?
Should I dedicate time to learning flutter and building my own or does anyone know any cool foss projects working on this issue?
Plenty of services still unfortunately rely on SMS for 2FA, so we’ll still need a client to receive them. Doesn’t really need to be able to send them though, I don’t think any human has sent an SMS message deliberately for about 12 years!
SMS is my primary mode of contact with the rest if the world. I use Signal as well, but most people I know only use SMS.
So how do you have group chats or send files with your non-Signal contacts?
You don’t x)
More seriously, in these cases, I often rely on emails instead. But I don’t really use group chats a lot (even with my contacts that are on Signal), nor send many files, so it’s not features I really miss. And SMS works with everyone, so it’s always my default if the contact isn’t on Signal.

I don’t know anyone in Canada that isn’t a new Canadian that uses anything other than the default sms app on their phone. (FBM and Insta and what not don’t count in my example).
SMS is alive and well in Canada.
