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 think they also have some always-on secret sauce spam filtering similar to whatever Google Voice has, but I don’t really remember details and a cursory search didn’t turn up much. I originally switched from Voice after reading about it, though.
But, there’s no way to tell how many spam calls it’s blocking because there are no logs for that. So I don’t know if, on my spammy number, it’s blocking 3x the level C calls which actually made it thru, or what.
I appreciate you taking the time to talk this over with me. Spam filtering is a must-have for me because if I get too many spam calls ringing thru, my brain will assign all calls to the Noise category, at which point the phone becomes much less useful to me.
Depending on your use case you can set all calls that aren’t from known contacts to go straight to voicemail
