It's not just the blue bubble though. It's being able to send and receive full quality pictures and videos to iPhone users without having to get them to install a 3rd party app. All the old people in my family have iPhone. They won't learn Signal. Beeper bridged that gap.
Then use ANY other messaging service. Preferably Signal, but if that doesn't work..... Facebook, Whatsapp, literally anything.

So Facebook, or Facebook? That might work for most people, but when there's an open protocol right there, I'd rather steer clear of their products and services
