Ask HN: Is Signal Down?

I don't have (and don't want) a cellphone. Is there a way for me to use signal? Maybe something that relays SMS?

I have to use Whatsapp to talk to people in a certain group. I use an old Android 6 phone with a prepaid SIM bought just for this single purpose, setup with a burner Google account. I only turn this phone on when I need to catch up or talk to them. It's really REALLY cheap and it works.

You can do the same for Signal.
