signal requires a phone number to sign up. a phone number could be used to trace your signal account back to you. so why do people, especially privacy enthusiasts and experts (like edward snowden), still use it and endorse it when it lacks anonymity in that sense? i get that people could use a voip number or something to sign up, but still.

      This is way not cheap 😅😅😅😅

      One of the main issues of jmp chat is the price

      There are some VoIP services that are $20 a year, and I wanted to compare if there’s anything interesting and cheap

        Gotcha. It’s worth it for me, but cheaper is better! You can probably use a google voice number (which is free) to register Signal.
