  The problem is not that I’m not using signal (I am), its that I also have to use telegram and\or whatsapp if I want to contact anyone without sending them an sms.

  So all this bloat still affects me, whether I “just use signal lol” or not.

    I’m not sure what part of the world you’re in, so maybe there is a societal difference here, but last I checked, if you’re running a business, it’s not only run on chat apps. There are other venues to contact businesses to schedule things…

      Central Asia, businesses here do not have websites. They put a listing on aggregators with a phone number and may be an instagram account.

        Well sounds like a phone number is another option…

  I doubt Signal is supported by their scheduling/desk software though, Telegram has pretty wide support.
