I appreciate the suggestions. Unfortunately, Voice doesn’t work as I’d like it to. I am looking for something that can:

  1. Use my Google Fi phone number as my “public” number
  2. Receive texts on my Pixel using default messaging program
  3. Read and respond to those texts on all platforms simultaneously (Win, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android) - points for desktop apps plus Firefox extensions

Pulse does all of this but uses a PWA on iOS that doesn’t work well and it’s not free. E2E but not open source.

Google Voice fails #2.

Signal only works on one phone at a time.

I might end up porting my Fi number to something (jmp.chat or the like) but I feel like there should be something I can use on my Pixel that works everywhere. Like Hangouts did. Dang you Goog.
