UPDATE: Beeper, through their Twitter account, is saying that they're working on it and "hope to have good news to share soon":

Work continues to fix the issue causing the Beeper Mini outage. We know how hard this has been for those who loved using Beeper Mini, and we're extremely sorry for the inconvenience. We are feeling good, though, and hope to have good news to share soon.

No one who used I message after this could reach me it was so weird

It wouldn't surprise me if you're experiencing that old bug that happened when iOS users went to android. Their phone number would be in apples system as an iMessage number, and wouldn't recognize that it wasn't. So people would message you, and the message would get lost in the aether.

I don't understand what beeper is doing (cause I'm dumb and too lazy to look it up) but your number might be stuck. Your friends might need to manually turn off iMessage for you (it used to be long pressing the send button in the message till it turns green)

I reallt hope apple actually adopts RCS next year. The standard is so much better than iMessage.

My friends said they had a button pop up to instead send as SMS yesterday. Beeper sent notifications the service was down and shortly after my number was deregistered with imessage without me having to do anything.

It's not a bug.

[–] CodingCarpenter@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

This was exactly it I had to not only deregister from Apple's services but my friends also had to turn off iMessage send me a message and then they can turn it back on and nothing would be broken. Must be some kind of caching we've decided just to switch to Discord much safer that way

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You need to de-register your number.

[–] paintbucketholder@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Beeper already deregistered the numbers, but it takes 24 to 36 hours for Apple servers to forget the deregistered numbers.
