Like others, I also use keybase.io. By design it is not connected to the phone number, I can prove by myself the identity of the recipient and yes, it has exploding messages. They had a fiasco with unwanted cryptocurrency but now it is mostly forgotten/forgiven.
If you live in a condo, what about sharing your internet on the guest WIFI network? Does it make sense? Will people misuse it? (It probably violates TOS, I guess.)
