So there is this app claiming on-device iMessage functionality on Android. Seems cool but only has subscription based pricing. Does anyone know of a way to circumvent this?
Edit: I found this but it seems a bit dodgy

Even a trial of this REQUIRES them to have billing info on file. Likely Apple is going to shut this down within a few months. If they don’t, I imagine some better options may emerge.
Apple hasn’t shut down any other iMessage system, not the original bluebubbles.
They haven’t because it was slightly convoluted (and you had to fork over some money to Apple) AND it was free.
They’ve removed the difficult bit, the “apple gets its share first” and the free part.
I’d be shocked if Apple’s leadership hasn’t contracted a hitman yet.
Hahahahaha
It’s definitely shining a light on the limitations of iMessage, especially how imperfect it’s encryption is, so yea, that’s the kind of thing that hits a little close to home.
And… It’s done: https://lemmy.world/post/9325834
Callled it. Get your subscription cancelations in now. This was a thoughtless cash grab.
Looks like beeper got their stuff working again.
Can’t imagine this working out very well long term though
