What was also really revealing is Signal’s operational cost breakdown. Their biggest cost is activation texts, because providers have lost consumer SMS as a milk cow, so they’ve now started to charge insane rates for business texts.
With RCS or iMessage they cannot justify charging for these.
- rezonant 3y agoBoth iMessage and RCS require carrier services to register phone numbers. In iMessage' case it is an activation SMS text.
- wkat4242 3y agoWell that's their own fault for requiring a phone number. They could just support creating accounts with username and password and they would never have to send texts. It would be way better for user privacy too.
