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.
