Currently looking at:

  • jmp.chat with the Cheogram app - at $3 a month for each number, it’s a little pricey.
  • VoIP.ms with either the linphone app or one of the other FOSS apps in their softphones list - $0.85 a month but calls and messages are a la carte, which is not my favorite but it’s less expensive.

I know a lot of people like using MySudo or Grandstream, but I’d like to keep it FOSS and not reliant on google play services if possible. Battery considerations are also a plus.

So what are you using and would you recommend it?

    I hate to admit it but I’m still using Google voice. I’ve run into a lot of trouble with some sites requiring a cell phone number instead of a virtual number. So the refusing the Google voice number so I have to fall back to a Google Fi number. Which isn’t ideal.

      I mainly want it for my resume, rewards programs, and when you go out to eat and they ask for a phone number to text you when your table is ready. Hopefully, I don’t run into any issues with it being a VOIP number in those circumstances.
