Have you tried seeing if Beeper will work with a Google Voice number?

My primary # is Google Voice, it's different from my eSIM MDN. I'd like that to be used with Beeper. Is that possible?

Nice job, I'm impressed at how quickly you guys built this. I've been using pypush for sms-registration for some time, and it has worked beautifully, but it way too technical for the average person. Now I can share it with my friends that don't have a CS degree lol

You guys fucked yourselves up writing this article, Apple read it and now the party's over. Should've just kept the specifics under wraps.

Will there be a version of this app, maybe a pay once instead of a subscription, where you are able to set up your own server to be able to be notified when you receive a message?

It just doesn’t work with any UK SIM I’ve tried. You can log in with your Google account, subscribe but when it comes to phone registration- every time I get Something Went Wrong. (Tried Vodafone, O2, Lebara)

I applaud the new direction not to use cloud servers as it's much more scalable, but this road map is a slap in the face to the beta testers of Beeper who were told there would be a free version alongside Beeper plus. Now were essentially being told the app we tested for you will be depreciated and we're being forced to pay a monthly subscription?

Love the app, but I'm not shelling out a monthly subscription for Beeper. I'm a long believer of owning the things I use and since you guys don't offer lifetime subscriptions (which I wouldn't even mind shelling out $30-50 for), now seems like a perfect jumping off point for the people who won't pay monthly subs.

Would be cool to see the ability to name Group chats in the future, but loving it so far, works like a charm!

Can beeper work as a unified messaging inbox, e.g. include regular SMS/MMS/RCS messages, as well as Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp?

Need it to work for Google Voice numbers now... Or umm how about even GOOGLE themselves integrating Google Voice and Google stock Messages app with RCS and everything else GV is missing already!

Long pressing on a message to get the emojis doesn't work it makes the app close, also now that my number is iMessage registered and going through beeper mini does that mean if i have been blocked by someone they can receive my messages again? If the answer is no can you explain why they still wouldn't be able to receive my messages also what if I change the option start chat to use my email

If I stop using Beeper Mini, I'm assuming my conversations will be lost? Or is there either a way to archive them or move them back to my Google Messages?

Will Beeper mini store my SMS? So if I switch to a new android phone will my messages carry over?

I tried it then uninstalled now I'm not receiving texts from Apple users

How resistant is this to Apple patching iMessage and breaking Beeper Mini?

Quick question. If the messages are end to end encrypted how does Apple deliver duplicates to other devices signed in with the same Apple ID? Say a Ipad and an IPhone are both using the same Apple ID. How do they get the iMessages ?
