Does anyone know how the texts.com iMessage integration works?

EDIT - It’s macOS only. Nothing new to see here, I’m afraid.

Came to ask the same, is that really true? They have a graphic on their homepage that certainly implies you can use it as a replacement for iMessage on iOS. I can't imagine anyone doing that if you can no longer actually reach anyone on iMessage.

You can. You run a "router" on your Mac, which allows iMessage interop without the protocol hacking that doomed Beeper.
