I used Signal for years and loved it, but I need SMS support to talk to, well, anyone I know. Is there a secure choice that’s near-equal?

    I’ve never heard of anything that offers secure messaging like Signal, and insecure SMS.

    But there are lots of SMS apps that can be used along with Signal. No need for them to be the same app.

    Your preinstalled SMS app is usually the best way to receive SMS, I wouldn’t give and unnecessary app permissions to access them!

        That’s because SMS isn’t end to end encrypted in general, you need a encryption client on both sides to achive E2E encryprion aka Singal to Signal or something comparable.
