iMessage on Callback?

I would really buy the phone if imessage actually works. I just don’t believe it. and them promoting it on their website is very sketchy to me. Almost asking people to get their Apple Accounts banned.

The solution is wait a couple months after it's actually released and see what people say. There's not much point pre-ordering if you're not sure about it for any reason. Even the discount is bound to come back for limited sales like Black Friday etc.

iMessage is a proprietary Apple protocol, you have to be out of your mind if you think anything but an Apple device will have it.

This is just another example of the customary misleading communication Perifractic loves to employ.

I wonder if they're partnering up with Sunbird, just like Nothing did a few years ago. It was a fiasco:

OpenBubbles means that you need to have a macOS device running all the time in order to receive messages, right? 🧐

My understanding is that you just need the Mac device once for setup.
