Ah well. I should probably install Signal after all?
And when I do, it wouldn't be very useful to not use my actual mobile number, because no one would be able to find out I can be reached via Signal (did that a couple of years ago for a very limited number of contacts, and all it ended up doing was sucking up battery on my phone).
Same goes for granting access to my address book, but I haven't cleaned that up even once since I started to keep phone numbers in a database. So like there's a truckload of outdated contact information in there?
Ok, I'll do a cleanup run on that first. Let's see how far I get with that before I'm fed up...

...first pass has about halved my active address book. Seems I synced the current incarnation into SOGo in 2017 - I think it got copied around mostly as a bunch of icard files before, but this collection probably started on a Psion S3 after I typed in everything relevant from the paper address notebook? For about a quarter of the people that I moved into the archive I don't even know who they were, right now.
