So does using SMS in Signal just mean your phone sends an ordinary SMS message through the usual carrier network and it just uses the Signal UI to do that or is it something else? If it's the former that seems like a terrible idea that would only serve to confuse people as to what they're actually doing.

Yes but it tells you that it's doing it pretty clearly and it means you only need one app for non signal and signal contacts. They can just make the notice bigger I think.

I think the reason they're dropping it is RCS though. Much more complex standard than just regular sms
