Panda7878 you dont have add the contact to call, there is option to enter phone number and call in the cheogram app or if you enable the default phone app integration you can use the phone app to call like on any normal carrier.

W1zardK1ng Thanks for the info. I will play with the settings and see if I can figure it out. If not, I will just add someone to my contacts to call them, not a big deal! :)

Jmp.chat is the best voip service i ever used. I got 2 numbers ported to it and got an data only sim from them. Only issue is it get costly for people who make lots of calls and use data. Also they cant transfer data only sim to a new device. We need to by a new esim if we switch the device or delete the current esim but they can transfer the data balance to the new esim.

I didn't know jmp.chat sold data-only sims. I will need to look into that. I have been looking into a sim card for emergency only. I am thinking of keeping my current mobile provider, as it's only $13.60 or so a month (talk and text only) and only use it for emergencies, such as my car breaking down and needing to contact someone. The rest of time I will use wifi data either at home, at work, restaurants, etc.

I have tried JMP Chat, but canceled it in the end, because they only offer Canadian and USA numbers. After some experimentation I settled on:

Cheogram for personal contacts
baresip for business contacts with:
1. a free Telnyx account for making 0.0037 USD/minute, pay-as-you-go call rate, outbound SIP calls from anywhere in the world to any NL PSTN landline
2. a 8,95 EUR/year CheapConnect NL landline DID for receiving unlimited free inbound PSTN calls from NL, anywhere in the world

So far, it has worked flawless

I found baresip a nightmare. The GUI is from the 1990s. It did not ring reliably without Play Services. Not usable.

Sipcall app works fairly well without Play Services but they are not available worldwide. And they need fairly good network.

MS Teams Telephony works quite well but it is closed source and relies on Play Services for incoming call alerts. The trick is if you don't use Play you can let Teams ring on your mobile simultanously. I do not like Microsoft but their product is pretty cool.
