Signal v7 with username IDs is right around the corner. I'd suggest you wait a few weeks if you can.
I'd love to see data to the contrary, but I believe even with username IDs, they will still want phone number verification. I.e. like telegram does
We'll see in a few weeks time; hence my recommendation to wait a little ;)

Except they literally do. It's even acknowledged in the mainstream media.
