No sms texts on concumer cellular sim card - tckosvic - 02-08-2021
manjaro arm with kde plasma, just received.
Put in Consumer Cellular sim card. Phone seems to work ok in limited test.
Another story with text messages. In Phonebook if I try text message the chats program starts up and says that I need to activate a new account in preferences. There is a preferences in the chats menu icon that says preferences but it does nothing.
If I go to Accounts in Settings, there is no option for consumer cellular and no active option to add one. Looks like accounts available are :
ownCloud
Nextcloud
Is there another sms text app? Or is my CC sim card only going to make phone calls.
thanks for any insights you may have.

I solved my own problem when I found reference to "spacebar" as being an sms app. It works but it is really clunky.
Anyone recommend another sms app that uses sim card not internet?

Found solution when I saw that spacebar was an sms app. It does sms chatting. Uses the consumer cellular sim card. Looks like it works but clunky app.
Anyone know of a beefier sms messaging app for pinephone? Keeps threads organized by contact, for example.
