Is there any FOSS alternative messenger that handles SMS and RCS? Supposedly RCS is an open standard, but I am not aware of any FOSS messenger that has it. I’d like to move away from google messenger, but there doesn’t look like there is an option just yet.

Well, with RCS everyone already has a baked in app that supports the protocol, but still doesn’t do anything better other the alternatives (I mean other apps, not sms).

I’m slowly moving all my friends and family over to Signal

My only issue with Signal is that it does not seem to (or I cannot get it to) work over wifi in the absence of a cell signal.

Not sure what is going on with your setup, but Signal should work with any internet connection.

It should, it’s not using signal, just internet access
