On your phone download TextMe and create an account for it. Your textme phone number has to be in the US state where you're shipito address is (well maybe not but again, for safety's sake). Unfortunately it's not free to get a US number,but it's on sale now, I think it's like $2. (I don't know if there's any other app like this that's free, but this worked for me.).

Keep in mind Matrix is a protocol for messaging just like email is a protocol for mail. There's more than one client and Element just so happens to be the most popular one. A really good runner-up would be FluffyChat. Then there's Cinny. Source: about 1 year ago
That's actually almost a ripoff of FluffyChat with the pull-up server list from Element's Android app. And given Matrix is trying to mimic the semantics of Discord servers with spaces, I don't even like those layouts. Gross. Source: about 1 year ago
There is a package I wanted to use fluffychat (Matrix Client) you can only get it from flathub and snap (officially) there is an aur package for arch (unofficial). This is just an example. There was also some other package that I no-longer use that had a similar case. More will become like this that's for sure. I don't like this future, it sucks. Source: over 1 year ago
@Hamuko I have been on matrix several years, and lately I've been really liking Schildi Chat [https://schildi.chat]. Also, many other users that I know really like Fluffy Chat [https://fluffychat.im/]. In any case, there are several more options nowadays. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
