You still need to get a code via SMS to activate your Signal account. I believe this is what they are referring to. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] communism@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 years ago Yep, I was referring to that. You can stick someone else's SIM in your phone and log into their signal account if they've not set a Signal PIN. You don't see message history but new messages to that person will go to you. permalink fedilink source parent
