iMessage on Beeper appears to be gone for good.
  • Beeper says that it received and verified reports of 30 users of Beeper Cloud or Mini that had their Macs banned from using iMessage by Apple.
  • Apple Support says the Macs were banned from accessing iMessage due to “spam.”
  • Beeper has disabled new iMessage connections to Beeper Cloud, and it’s unclear when or if functionality might return.

    Signal recently said they predict $50m cost per year. Do you think Apple runs their servers for free? I’d be mad if someone highjacked my servers without my permission.

      1. I’d pay for the service if I could

      2. Apple implementing RCS involves using their own servers too, which they’ve claimed they’d add anyway.

      3. Why do people feel the need to defend a 400B corporations pockets? Over a small companies desire to unify messaging for everyone. Across multiple apps even. What’s app, RCS, imessage, signal, fb messenger, twitter PMs, discord and more being added. Bro there’s even indeed PMs there.
