ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Simon Redman 2018-12-13 20:35:17 UTC 
Thank you for the feedback! Unfortunately, Signal is a known issue. From our quick inspection, it looks like Signal is handling SMS in its own way which, since it is designed for a privacy focus, makes sense. It is on the future roadmap to figure out Signal, etc. compatibility, but first we are looking to do a release with basic features.
