Re: RedPhone Removed from Google Play Store

If someone knows of a way to install a current version of the Google Service Framework, without using the Google Play app, I'd be interested to know.

Otherwise you're stuck using older versions of Textsecure that support SMS, but again I'm pretty sure that requires an active cellular plan with SMS capable telephone number.

You are correct. I will use older TextSecure on my activated phone. Works perfectly. On my unactivated "PDA,"I will continue to email my contacts cellular text address unless I convince my contacts to use peerio or chatsecure or subrosa.
