Trying to ditch Google messages without success. I hung onto the old Samsung app forever but it is super buggy for me. I tried to switch to textra, bought the paid version, but keep getting this "MMS timeout" message so idk if im not getting or sending messages correctly. Have tried all the fixes i found online to no avail. So, is there any real, decent alternative to Google messages?

There's the ticket. Just set it to the 2k and forget about it. Something about the "no limit" setting makes it choke on the data.

So far so good! Dropping an update for future folks. Thanks again!
