Yes if you want to switch to one of the other routes please follow up with support and they can move you in the next batch

Also per the other post, note we’ve never claimed “all providers do this” when it comes to the profanity filters. All providers have some filters and those filters have all got tighter over the past year, but only one provider we’re aware of (which happens to be our default, but because of this no longer only, provider) is censoring profanity.

All hosted snikket instances use a retention period of 7 days at the moment

Any client that can do voice calls will work with JMP.chat. As a user generally it’s not useful to think about XMPP or protocol extensions, this is an implementation detail if you’re building a library or SDK. We consider Cheogram Android to be a first-party app and all Snikket branded apps to be pretty close, everything else is a third-party app with the uncertainty that entails, but basic functions like text messages and calls are standard enough to pretty much always work.

If you try the sign up process you will see what payment methods are supported. Namely: credit card, bitcoin, payment by mail, or (in Canada) interac e-transfer.

If you contact support you can get an address for ETH or XMR as well for signup, these are not fully automated yet.

does JMP accept payments in Monero (XMR)

Yes. It’s automated for top ups but not for signup yet, but you can contact support https://jmp.chat/faq#support to get an XMR address for signup purposes.

would I still be able to use the actual phone to dial 911 if necessary?

Carriers in USA are required by law to complete 911 calls even if you are not a customer and have no SIM card at all. So yes.

I saw something about an ESIM adapter that’s a regular SIM card that can have multiple ESIM profiles on it. Why can’t I just buy this directly?

You can: https://jmp.chat/esim-adapter

Your message history is stored on device in your app. So long as you don’t remove the old account from your app (even if you just disable it) the history should remain in the app.

Contact are stored both in the app and with your old service, your app may offer a way to do automated migration (for example Gajim does) or https://migrate.modernxmpp.org/ may be an option but I don’t think the latter works with chatterboxtown.

To actually switch which Jabber ID your JMP phone number is associated with you can use the bot https://jmp.chat/faq#bot and the “change jabber id” command option.

You have to talk a lot more than 2 hours before the per-minute fee starts to cost anything substantial. Unless you’re on the phone all day every day odds are it will be cost effective for you.

I wrote some thoughts about this at https://blog.jmp.chat/b/2022-sms-account-verification If verification texts are important to you you can also asking JMP support about getting a “Premium+” number, which is managed by a partner who has back channels to yell at many verification providers if they reject a number.

You can’t forward SMS due to how the protocol works, but calls you can forward using the “configure calls” command with the bot. Set the URI to tel:+15551234567

If you got a forbidden response it probably thought you were trying to send a link. Make sure you have no . in your message and try again

I barely even noticed they got replaced. They never got to have any story involvement or character development, just like most of the rest of the bridge crew in Discovery.

Cheogram Android has the send half of URL preview. I will be adding display on the receive side this year when I get the time.

I really found the coda/epilogue to be distracting. The end of the main story ended in a good place, with Burnham and Booker heading off on their next adventure. And then suddenly we’re getting this long drawn-out “and then later after many adventures they… did something useless we can’t explain but at least they saw their old friends again the end” just really took the wind out of it.

You mean you’ll only see content from people you follow and only people who follow you will see you content? Sounds like working as intended the way things were meant to be.

If you modify the extensions.lua file inside the container you can do any manner of complex stuff like this, yeah, it’s a full asterisk inside there.

Yes if you consistently use over 3GB of data every single month you can probably find a cheaper option elsewhere

Don’t be so sure. They did that zoom in on the watch for a reason ;)
