This is also the thing keeping me from using my PinePhone, and my OnePlus One running Ubuntu Touch. I used the latter as a daily driver for a while, but after missing some messages that people sent me (some of which were fairly important)... no, they're not in a usable state for me yet.

Don't get me wrong, I'm really excited about both projects! But in my area (east coast US), people tend to just assume that you can receive MMS/group texts, they'll send them to you without a second thought, and the idea that you might not receive them won't even be on their minds.

Yep, that's the same issues for me. My work, family, and friends all use group texts via MMS. I would switch to a pinephone or librem 5 instantly if they supported it, but this is a non-starter for me.
