I want to trust Apple more than a random 3rd party app in general but regardless I don't think you have an option for alternate SMS on iOS. Anyway the problem here, I think, is that you can somehow send an iMessage (not SMS?) via an account that is backed by an email address instead of a phone number. So even if texts/SMS could have an alternate app, iMessage would still be accepting messages from bad accounts.

It's baffling that they won't at least disable previews for senders not in your contacts. Ideally they would provide a way to block certain types of senders outright. I will NEVER want to receive an iMessage from an unknown email address, but that's where all of the spam crap comes from.

Recently I was on my phone when I received an email address iMessage and the toast showed an absolutely insane link, when I opened iMessage (not even that conversation) to go delete the thread my phone screen went blank quickly 2 or 3 times in a row, something I've never seen before. I deleted the thread and turned the thing off.
