Skype is shutting down in May, and is where I currently have a VOIP number for the USA. Has anyone moved from a Skype number to JMP.Chat? How did you find the process?
I would love a referral code to JMP as well if anyone wants to share :)
There is a partial outage of JMP services right now caused by a partial outage at our main hosting provider. We are working as fast as we can on restoring service.
I might need to switch my phone provider. As much as I've loved having all my messages delivered via #XMPP, jmp.chat's upstream providers decency filter is killing me.

Sam on Mastodon (linked post) grumbles about the profanity filters on jmp.chat (presumably from upstream providers) and getting messages rejected. I've experienced the same, including having my account blocked if I mistakenly send it twice.
When I inquired, support said they were working on improved "routes" (upstream providers) and that I would be waitlisted for the beta of the new routes. That was months ago and I've heard nothing since.
Has anyone gotten into the beta program, and does it improve the situation? Because sometimes you just don't have two fucks to give.

Are there any other good VoIP providers (not necessari
I've heard about this before, but I'm seriously looking into it as an option. But I have what I would consider to be an interesting situation and some noob questions.
Situation: My current cellular provider is T-Mobile USA and my current phone is a OnePlus Nord N200 5G (2021) running LineageOS 21 (android 14) with no gapps. For whatever reason, this device and ROM combination does not support voice over LTE (VoLTE), and so I am forced back to the 2G network every time I want to make or receive a phone call. Receiving text messages works fine, but sending them causes me issues. T-Moble, like all other carriers, is going to be shutting down their 2G network at some point in the future, which would leave me without the ability to call or text unless I'm on Wi-Fi and using Wi-Fi calling.
Questions:
does JMP accept payments in Monero (XMR)
If i were to get the 2GB T-Mobile tablet plan would I still be able to use the actual phone to dial 911 if necessary? From what I understand, an
jmp.chat phone number, shared between spouses as a “family number” either of us can answer at home or away from phone.
Cell2Jack device that converts bluetooth phone call into landline phone
Cortelco 2500 telephone
Video with sound here. Video was taken of Android phone Cheogram app, but I will instead use this setup with Raspberry Pi 4 + Waydroid/Lineage OS and Cheogram app in the coming days.
Yes, you can answer and dial out from the telephone instead of device for integrated phone apps like Cheogram. For Signal, I have to tap answer on device but can pick up telephone to continue the audio call.
I currently have my business phone number on JMP through Chatterboxtown.us. Apparentlly, I now have a Snikket account set up to which I can migrate to, presumably for more reliable phone service. Problem is, I'm trying to learn what this entails and what to expect but I can't find any documentation to read through to learn. Since this is my business phone, I'm not interested in fumbling through it and learning along the way at the risk of losing service, stored messages, contact info, etc. The only thing I know is I can use the "invitation" from Snikket to get set up, but that isn't educational - it actually just creates questions.
Is there a migration guide out there somewhere that I'm missing to learn about this migration? I want to learn what happens to my message history, contacts, etc etc. I have a lot of customer history and contacts in this business account and I need to be confident what I'm actually doing.
There's a lot of consternation about the number of services that refuse to register against a JMP number. At the core I suspect it's about information sharing — your carrier will happily give your details to third parties, where JMP doesn't have that information to begin with.
I dealt with this differently. I stopped thinking of my mobile as my 'real' number, but instead as my public one. All personal contacts have my personal JMP number, Signal is registered against my JMP number. Cellular SMS has notifications silenced. When an SMS is important, like when logging into a bank, I know it's coming. No unexpected SMS is welcome.
This works for me because my friends don't use voice, so JMP having metered talk time doesn't matter. But mainly, I don't think of either number as 'real'. I pay for both, and each has its use.
We are aware that Google has removed Cheogram Android from the Play Store. They have not given us any information about why yet, but we are working through the process. For now you can get the even better version from https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.cheogram.android/
Hello, I want to buy a flip phone to reduce distractions and am planning on
getting rid of my Pixel. I currently have Cheogram installed on my Pixel and
want to forward calls/texts to my SIM phone number. I’m not sure if the current
flip phones support Cheogram well (due to the small screen), that’s...
