@snow @Rusty if you want a phone "that just works" consider an #Iridium 9555 or Iridium Extreme PTT.

Phone and text messages: Apple opens up core iPhone functions in the EU
RCS/SMS messages and telephony have always only been available in Apple's Phone and Messages app. That will change soon.
Telefon und Kurznachrichten: Apple öffnet iPhone-Kernfunktionen in der EU
RCS/SMS-Nachrichten und Telefonie gab es seit jeher nur in Apples Telefon- und Nachrichten-App. Das ändert sich bald.
After what seems like 24-48 hours of work, I have finally 'maintained' the unknown sms conversations on my phone going back almost 15 years...roughly akin to laying down 40 pallets of sod...lol
Why we need a #EU only #CPaaS solution: #CPaaS (Communications Platform as a Service) enables companies to integrate #voice, #SMS, or chat features via #REST #API directly into their software – without needing their own telephony infrastructure. When it comes to voice and messaging, however, highly #sensitive user #data is transmitted, such as phone numbers, call content, and communication metadata, making data protection a top priority.

Utifall någon fortfarande skulle använda Telegram: jag fick precis detta bluff-sms. Länken leder till en sajt som kapar Telegram-konton.
Kom ihåg! Du kan aldrig lita på avsändaren av ett sms, inte ens ifall sms:et kommer i en tråd av befintliga äkta meddelanden.

F..k!
Habe heute mein #Smartphone verloren.
Wozu das alles führt und wie abhängig wahrscheinlich selbst alle, die immer vom #Digitalzwang reden, wir davon sind, wird einem erst in so einem Fall klar.
Das fängt mit so kleinen Dingen an wie:
"Wir haben ihnen eine #SMS mit dem Bestätigungscode an ihr Mobiltelefon mit der Nummer **99 geschickt"
🤷♂️ 🤦
Es muss bei mir in jedem Fall wieder mehr de-
digitalisiert werden.
I've run into this with a number of businesses. I'm also with you that as far as I know, there's no way to text a "regular" landline.
The stupid part of this is that this problem is both solvable *and* detectable in advance. I've written integrations with the big communications providers, that you use to let your application/website send texts - there is a mostly-reliable way to query "can this number receive texts?" before you try to send a text, and they generally also give you the option to send a robot-voice message, so you can fall back to that.
Without being too much Old Man Yells At Cloud, I'm pretty much in agreement with others that say that these kinds of fails are the result of young / inexperienced designers or developers not considering anything outside of their personal experience - most of them have never used a phone that couldn't send and receive texts. They don't even contemplate the possibility of a user of their system not being in exactly the same circumstances as themselves. This kind of oversight should be caught by project management, but ... 🤷

PSA: Not from #AnPost. Easy to spot I guess but just in case you hear anyone asking "did you order something via an post", there's a bit of it going about at the moment. No doubt some will fall for it though. #sms #spam #phishing #smishing

Just ran into another case of this...
Reputable online seller of <things> in Canada, medium-sized, one of maybe half a dozen options at the national level.
Go to buy <object> for several hundred dollars. Fine.
Whether I try to create an account, or checkout as guest, it wants my phone number. Fine, credit card companies want that as an additional line of defence against fraud.
However... before you can continue to the next step, you have to "click to receive a verification code" that you need to enter to complete the form.
And it must be trying to send that code by SMS/text, because I'm not getting it. My phone is a landline; there's no way to text it. They don't try email or sending the code by robot-voice to the phone number, either.
