VOIP App recommendations

[deleted]

Acrobits Softphone or its slightly more expensive sibling Groundwire. I haven't used them on GOS, but I've had good experiences (by softphone standards) on both stock Android and iOS. I've since switched over to regular telcos for calls but it had nothing to do with their apps specifically and more with softphone experience in general. Hope this helps

I wanted to bump this thread. Wondering is there any new details on a viop that actually works decent on GOS without google services?
I need to pull the trigger on one soon. I don't want to give my number out and its getting harder by the day :)
Thanks

I used GSWave long time without any problems, but it is not maintained anymore.

Maybe the newest is CLINQ.

I use the Cheogram app with JMP.chat. Works well and is constantly being worked on.

mommy

Thank you for the recmondations.

I see that Cheogram doesn't have a dial pad for outgoing calls for a jmp # unless I'm missing something.

Qwerty

mommy This is partially incorrect. You can dial out from the app by adding the number as a contact first. I found this tedious, so I just added it as a calling account and now I can make and receive calls from the android dialer.

Qwerty
Thank you for this info, I'm new to this app. Have you had any connection issues when dialing out after adding the calling account. It's hit or miss for me after trying several calls. maybe one out of 4 calls connect. depending on the number dialed. Some don't connect at all. I just noticed there is a sip option in cheogram, would this be more reliable, and advantages or disadvantages using the sip option?

Probably a stupid question, but what does “adding the calling account” entail?

I’d like to use Jmp but thought the whole syntax of adding callers to dial or text was too hard for daily driver use.

Qwerty

mommy

I would reach out to the jmp.chat community on cheogram. They are very active and answer any and all questions quickly. I have not experienced this issue.

Not a stupid question friend, by adding your xmpp address as a calling account allows you to use the GOS phone app/ dial pad to make calls like a normal phone, But untill there is an update for android you will have to reselect your account after every boot which isn't a bid deal for the benefit it does. How you do it is go to settings in the actual phone app, select calls tab, select calling accounts, and select your xmpp address.

panopticon

mommy you can get another dialer app to replace the default and not have to deal with the bug of having to reset your calling account to your XMPP account after every restart.

panopticon do you have a recommendation? Not all dialers allow to reset calling account.

chuck I'm using ACR Phone by NLL from Aurora store with the ACR Phone Helper from apk mirror using accessability settings so I can record calls. I have network access revoked but its likely not the best solution from a privacy security perspective.

I would like to bump this thread again... Anyone have any luck with VOIP/SIP apps? Do the PUSH notifications work properly?

I'm considering Acrobits Groundwire, Sessiontalk and Zoiper at the moment.

i really wanted to use My Sudo but it doesn't look like it works well. Their support doesn't have any real experience with GrapheneOS

I would love to hear from people wo have tried these.

SEE I'm using phone.com without Google Play. I don't get push notifications but I have phone.com forward the calls to my sim number. I use this for business so its important that calls come through.

For personal texting and calling I use Signal so I don't rely on Google notifications for that.

I’ve been using Jmp.chat and their Cheogram app for a couple months now. Works pretty flawlessly :) side benefit, Jmp is non kyc

Also, don’t forget to update your dialer/phone app to automatically use the Jmp account to make calls. Very nice integration so you don’t even notice you’re using Jmp unless you get a legacy sms (that you’ll see in the Cheogram app)

Shameless plug, let me know if you’d like a referral link to Jmp and I think they give you a free month to try out

SaguaroPelikan Thanks for the recommendation. I hadn't thought of forwarding the VOIP numbers to a SIM. Not a bad idea. I would really like to get away from a SIM eventually though.

SEE

applesbana This could be a good option if it works well. Yeah I would take a referral code... It would give me a chance to see if I can get it to work for me. Thanks.

Yeah, give it a shot. I tried mysudo in the past but had issues with it while traveling overseas. They limit usage to a select few countries.

The referral code is: BBB7KNQQ

Still curious if anyone has had any luck with I'm considering Acrobits Groundwire, Sessiontalk and Zoiper. Not sure if you can get the push notifications.
