I’m very tired of SMS being horrible and necessary. Matrix has a bridge for SMS, but it doesn’t work very well. There’s other SMS bridges, no idea how well they work.
Does anyone have a good solution for dealing with SMS?

Have you tried the new SMS bridge that relies on gmessages?
https://github.com/mautrix/gmessages
If you have an Android phone you can use the Google SMS app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.messaging
Then you pair the app and bridge. It’s been pretty reliable since I started using this bridge, especially when compared to the previous bridge options.
Ooooo. No I haven’t. Is it faster than the old bridge?
I don’t know how slow the old one was, but if I send myself an SMS using the bridge it completes a round trip to the Telco and back in about 1 second
That’s good to know. Thank you
