No way in hell do I believe that Signal won't work on Jamaica.

Tons of things work.

When people say things like that, they don't understand technology and just say that the popular thing is the "only" way.

In my case, good luck convincing the average Jamaican to switch to Signal, same problem everywhere! Just trying to give context to the verb "whatsapp".

I don't think they actually said that I think they were just saying that WhatsApp is the primary method of communication in Jamaica

a lot of other messaging services aren’t even available/supported in the region.

They were clearly saying that

It was probably easier to say that, than explain the social forces at work, but still, they said it.

Signal did not replace expensive texting and offer free wireless communication for the first time EVER in basically every developing country. Get off your high horse.
