You can turn off iMessage in settings and disable the phone number from messages. Then use whatever messaging service you want with the phone number.

Still not sure how it’s anti competitive to not allow others to use your own proprietary software when there are alternatives available, and they are not being restricted.

TIL, I did not think it was possible to use SMS with another app on iOS.

I don't think you can use a different app for SMS on iOS. Messages only.

But u can disable iMessage functionality (iMessage is the network-based instant messenger component).
