On the contrary, the only person here making that asinine claim is
*you*, Arlen. You like to try to misrepresent what people say to build
your little straw men, but adults see right through that childish game.

No, they want to use the iMessage service. And the fact that you think
iMessage is run on one server says all we need to know about your
knowledge in this area. You're clueless as usual.

Projection. You are the one who started baselessly claiming this was
about iPhones fifty posts ago, and several people have called you out on
it from the beginning. You're not fooling anyone here.

Duh. That's what I said.

Nope. They aren't interested in SMS or MMS. And they aren't interested
in WhatsApp, Signal, or other internet messaging apps. They want to use
iMessage, but without an Apple device, which is in violation of the
terms of service. You are *desperate* to move the goal post, but it is
firmly planted in the ground.

Get this through your incredibly thick head: SMS and MMS are not
internal technologies. Never have been. Never will be.

Projection from a mental weakling.
