In case it still doesn’t work when I’ve been in the USA (or/and back), then I need to try the things below.
It used to work both in the USA and in The Netherlands.
What I’ve tried so far is this:

I forgot about the announcement that Signal had also become available on the Desktop, but it is via [WayBack] https://signal.org/download/:
$ curl -s https://updates.signal.org/desktop/apt/keys.asc | sudo apt-key add -
$ echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://updates.signal.org/desktop/apt xenial main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/signal-xenial.list
$ sudo apt update && sudo apt install signal-desktop
I like the mix of echo and tee to update the [WayBack] /etc/apt/sources.list.d folder with the signal-xenial.list file.
These links will always give you the latest download filename:
The files you get there will be relative to the path https://updates.signal.org/desktop/ so will be similar to:
Signal-win-1.0.36.exe -> https://updates.signal.org/desktop/Signal-win-1.0.36.exeSignal-mac-1.0.36.zip -> https://updates.signal.org/desktop/Signal-mac-1.0.36.zipYou can get the sources at https://github.com/WhisperSystems/Signal-Desktop/releases

The quoted link wasn’t in the end what I used to get my config from a OnePlus 2 to a OnePlus 5
This is what I had to do instead:

I have been a long-time PushBullet user, but I bumped into an alternative if you just want to send SMS from a PC using a web browser through your Android Phone.
You will miss out all the other neat PushBullet features (like clipboard support), but it does work:
There is even a Mac warpper for it:

I agree: [WayBack] It’s so obvious I hadn’t thought about this.. – Roderick Gadellaa – Google+.
[WayBack] Reminder tip: Disable Wi-Fi during sleep to dramatically increase idle battery life on tablets and devices you don’t often use
