My niece has an old iphone with no SIM/phone number. Only wifi internet access.

Looking for an app for both of us to be able to chat

She cant chat with me over signal because no phonee number. She chats with the rest of the family over imessage, but i have an android phone

Is there an app available for both android and iphone to let me chat with her?

Thanks

Edit: willing to self-host for extra privacy. My nieces and nephews are all young children so i definitely want to encourage/educate them to get off corporate controlled communications channels

    Hehehehe, how we came here, if somebody wants to message their niece that doesn’t have a sim card then that somebody is doing something bad 😆

    (Sarcasm) 100% somebody isn’t using SMS or fb messanger that somebody is a terrorist, extremist, child abuser, and drug user

    C’mon, somebody is asking for software advice, just mentioning that it would be cool to educate the kids how to use private services

    And even if somebody might be doing something shady, you can’t really accuse or suspect somebody, this is really dark of you to suspect everyone around you and starting a witch hunt 😂😂😂

      I’d say the same thing about SMS or any other communication including in person. If you always keep two adults present you are much less likely to have problems

        Idk, sounds really dark, not trusing your family is really dystopian

          Its just a matter of policy. It doesn’t need to be that dystopian as all your doing is closing potential opportunity.
