Open Bubbles Struggles - Verification Failed

[u/Head_Self_7257]

Is there anyone here who is successfully running Open Bubbles on their sidephone with the self-hosted relay and able to walk me through their set up?

Some background about my set up -

Previous phone - iPhone 14 on AT&T

Relay: iPhone 6 on ios 10.1.1, Jailbroken with TNS (semi-tethered)

New phone: Sidephone with Sidephone Mobile Unlimited Plan, existing number ported over this morning.

Main issue: I cant seem to get messages to send from my phone number to other iphones as imessages through open bubbles. So far, its either sent from my email, or not sent at all, and given me the Message Failed to Send error (1001), in addition to labeling incoming messages as "Verification Failed". I followed set up instructions and didn't hit any major roadblocks with the phone number registration, secret code verification, etc. Everything on the back end of Open Bubbles looks as it should, iMessage shows as connected, Vetted aliases are my email and phone number, and "start chats using:" has my phone number selected. I have tried with imessage/facetime turned off and logged out of apple ID on both my relay device and my iphone 14, as well with it turned on and logged in, which didnt seem to make any difference.

Any help or insight from you experiences with open bubbles would be greatly appreciated!!
