Trying to ditch Google messages without success. I hung onto the old Samsung app forever but it is super buggy for me. I tried to switch to textra, bought the paid version, but keep getting this “MMS timeout” message so idk if im not getting or sending messages correctly. Have tried all the fixes i found online to no avail. So, is there any real, decent alternative to Google messages?

    I’ve been using textra for about 9 years now with no problems. Can’t imagine the default offers anything it doesn’t.

        Instead of advertising to me about issues I’m trying to escape, can you help me find a reliable way to get a phone that runs cr droid or graphene? I want out of the corpo chokehold but getting a divice I can do that with is a fucking nightmare.

        Oh shit, I missed that part in the post. Go into settings/mms/mms advanced and turn down the carrier send limit. It’s trying to send it in too big of chunks so your carrier blocks it

            Open up textra itself like youre going to text someone but havent chosen who yet, hit the three dots in the top right, settings, under messaging is MMS. Carrier send limit is in there.
