- pomian 5y agoThanks for the reminder. The idea was to use signal with a degoogled phone. It would be great if signal could send SMS without the cell network. There are places and devices, without cell connections.
- int_19h 5y agoIt's the network itself that is limiting this, since SMS was designed for intra-network communication - so the sender needs some kind of network ID. Something like Google Fi can provide a web-based client for your SMS (which works on any device and doesn't require cellular) because they know your virtual SIM and can emulate it as needed. But I don't see how Signal could pull that off.
