Yeah signal, telegram, and whatsapp all want phone numbers I think. And I don't think I'd be able to convince my mum to use Discord or Matrix. She'd probably end up using something like Facebook Messenger/Messenger Kids

Signal recently updated to allow usernames instead of phone numbers.

I think you still need a phone number though. I think that's just for if you don't want to give out your phone number.
