RE: mastodon.social/@aboutsignal/1

Many of my kids want to securely text other kids who have laptops but not a phone plan or a debit card or spare money securely. This will stop that.

This will also make new users think that signal is a greedy company doing pay for privacy.

Signal Login: the optional registration without a phone number will require a one-time payment.

This is intended to create an additional barrier against spam and abuse. The fees will also help support Signal’s mission 💙

Signal has not yet confirmed the price.

What do you think would be a fair price?

      My cellular carrier won't let me send email to my own SMS email. They will of course offer a paid service that will allow me to email my own phone.

      I also have a paid, parked, Internet SMS number. The entire industry got together, decided that we are not allowed to send SMS messages anymore, and offered plans to pay $20 a month to use a SMS TEXT number that we're ALREADY PAYING FOR.

      They are literally converting a free service that has been free since forever, and arbitrarily adding mail servers to their blocklist for no reason. Then they are taking the paid service, and saying, pay us $20 more per month for your SMS, and we'll let you actually use it. Thieves, all of them.
