"BTW, one of Signal's weaknesses is that you MUST use a phone number with it. If you're savvy you realize this can be a Twilio number you control making your account immune from SIM hijacking."
Does Signal not ever send messages from, or otherwise use, SMS shortcodes ?
I ask because no twilio number can receive an SMS shortcode (because no twilio number is classified as a "mobile" number).
Genuinely curious.
