I also like wire and just by chance found it to message my kids on their iDevices that don’t have a phone number like iPads and iPods. It works great and has all the main features. I’m even happier now that you guys inform me it’s secure also.

If they’re Apple devices, why don’t you just use iMessage?

This is purely speculation into their motivations on my part, but it might have to do with Apple backing up encryption keys to iCloud.
