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.

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

Apple hasn't shut down any other iMessage system, not the original bluebubbles.
