    Wait. Signal was an SMS client. It wouldn’t cost them anything for a user to send an SMS message. IIRC, they nixed the SMS feature for security reasons, not cost.

      That’s what they told me when gave then feedback through their website.

      There’s no free lunch and corporations aren’t the most trustworthy source of information though so maybe it was about cost.

          Some nonprofit organizations are corporations and have pretty shitty practices:

          https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kids_Wish_Network

          The Morman church is another US ‘non-profit organization’ yet somehow hordes billions.

          Trusting blindly without doing research because something is presented as a non-profit is a good way to be taken for a fool and separated from your money.

          When signal made their own cryptocurrency which they entirely premined was a huge red flag. Dropping SMS support was an annoyance that broke the camels back.
