JMP.chat VS VoIP.ms

Why do you need a German phone number? Many countries let anyone have a phone number, with no proof of address or other identifying information. Just use one of those numbers instead. One example service is https://jmp.chat/ but there are many others. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

Https://jmp.chat/ has been great for me, uses bandwidth behind the scenes and wraps the experience in a nice XMPP UX. Calls and texts work, only issues I've run into are the usual some services don't accept VOIP numbers, and group texts > 10 people I can receive but not send messages (bandwidth provider limitation AFAIK). Bonus is that their stack is all open source and since it's XMPP you can use whatever clients... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

TLDR - I want to be able to take a bunch of sim cards, and use them to forward phones and SMS's to my actual phone. This would enable me to easily split my phone numbers up to multiple services without relying on third party hosts like jmp.chat or voip.ms. Another key tenant is that I want to avoid doing the calls and SMS's themselves over cellular - instead, wanting to rely on wifi-calling (VoWifi) - The point of... Source: 6 months ago

You might try https://jmp.chat. I'm very happy with them, I get SMS for everything I've tried(though I haven't tried everything/much). - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

Lol. Yeah, expect no privacy on the number. SMS isn't encrypted and its a pretty insecure and outdated technology nowadays, and if you're using it through Google Voice, Google will 100% have full access to your texts and calls through the number, which is obviously pretty horrible for privacy, especially with Google's terrible reputation and track record. If privacy is your concern, I'd recommend JMP. Its very... Source: 10 months ago

If you are willing to "loosen" your requirements slightly, VOIP.ms (https://voip.ms/) VOIP phone numbers support SMS send/receive (including a web interface in your account to do send/receive) and using one to send/receive SMS codes would be relatively inexpensive (if you pick their "pay for usage" version). This page shows their pricing in various countries... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

It appears that the ATA is not sending any traffic out when I dial. The packet capture only saw packets to/from voip.ms when I made an inbound call. Outbound, nothing happened. Source: 5 months ago

It's connected to voip.ms. The CDR in the ATA just shows that the outbound call failed. VoIP.ms CDR aren't registering that I've attempted to make an outbound call. Source: 5 months ago

Hello, I hope this is not too off-topic, but I suspect there must be many people here who have run into this. I use voip.ms, and have always received voicemails as email attachments with no problem. Since switching to Windows 11 from Windows 10, I can no longer play the files, but have to download them. Windows 11, Chrome, gmail. Error message: 'there was a problem playing this audio file'. Has anyone found a... Source: 5 months ago

This is usually very limited. For instance, I used voip.ms, and they limit it to 100 per day and costs me abotu a penny a message (separate charges for inbound and outbound, so 2 cents to receive a message and then forward it along) This is done because SMS forwarding looks spammy and the receiving carrier will block the sending carrier entirely (this is why Google had to end it).
