Sorry. I wish I hadn’t a few years ago. I will be looking to move to a non-Android, non-iOS phone soon so family will need another way to contact me. I can’t take a project serious that demands I use one of the corpo duopoly phones or even have a phone at all, but Signal, LINE, & a couple of other chat apps have this weird requirement.

XMPP and Threema don't require a phone number. And if you want you can run XMPP on your own server.

The difficulty will be convincing family to move again—not the technology options
