I've replaced Signal with SimpleX, and for SMS I use Simple SMS Messenger.

I just tried SimpleX, seems a very nice tool! I even got it to install onto my Linux PC, easy, like stealing a baby it's porridge! Thanks for the advice.

Still have to find a person to use it with. And to research how the telephony is working with the CLI App.
