Well I’ve been meaning to look into jmp.chat for like a year and finally got a chance, and it’s very interesting. I do have some questions, it’d be great to know the answers to these:
- I currently use Monocles as my mobile XMPP client (yet another Conversations fork) and Gajim on desktop, will these (especially Monocles) work well with JMP.chat? I don’t want to give up emoji reacts and message replies in XMPP and I saw somewhere that Cheogram doesn’t support these yet.
- I currently use a hardware SIP phone (a recent Grandstream wifi phone) for most of my calling, will it be easy to use with JMP.chat and will TLS+SRTP be supported?
- How good is the filtering of spam calls? I stayed on Google Voice for years because nobody else had credible spam filtering, and only jumped ship to a certain mom & pop VOIP provider once they got spam filtering which works somewhat well. This is important because if there are too many spam calls I’ll just start ignoring the phone altogether.
I believe Monocles should work just as well with JMP, though I’ve never tried it personally.
The SIP phone will work, but I’m uncertain about SRTP. You can reach out to JMP support to ask about this, but in my experience sometimes they can be less than helpful for issues that are very specific and/or rare.
There is no spam call filtering, as far as I’m aware.
I would recommend just creating an account and trying it yourself for a month. You have little to lose in doing that, and with that approach you’ll quickly figure out for sure how well it’ll work for your particular needs.
Feel free to PM me if you need a referral code that gets you a free month 😊
