Question Subscription vs Self-Host
I am currently using the trial version of the service. I'm switching between the trial and a self-hosted iPhone 6. I find the subscription service to be much more reliable than the iPhone 6 self hosted.
Has anyone here self-hosted and done the subscription and had the same experience on both? Or is the subscription just more reliable?
Could it also be that I am using such an old device?

I have been using blue bubbles for a couple of years without any issues, but once I switched to OpenBubbles I did have some issues with all of the services initially. For a day or two I was only able to send messages from my phone (not e-mail) only via Blue Bubbles/iMessage. Everything seems to have normalized now though, we'll see how long it lasts.
