Gutted. I will end up switching to a different provider. Absolutely don't know if I'll be able to convince family and friends to switch again.
I don't really see Signal as a useful tool for my uses after this change. I liked the SMS and encrypted messages in one place thing even though some friends rarely check it. For those friends I send SMS through Signal. There are certainly issues with group chats and media but nothing bad enough to consider using two apps. Now I have to look for a new tool, and figure out what to do with certain archive conversations I'd like to retain.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but:
- If you and your counterparty are both using Signal, nothing about the security of your communication changes.
- If your counterparty was not using Signal, your messages were over SMS/MMS and therefore not encrypted in the first place, and so once again, nothing about the security of your communication changes.
Are you seeing something I'm not?
