Been using both for a few months now and I really like it for all the reasons already mentioned.
But I do seem to have an increased amount of missed texts. Haven't been able to figure out why. Anyone else notice that?

I've never noticed this, I'd bet it's associated with your notification settings. My only gripe is that everytime my phone restarts, I have to open the app and reselected the ask first option for calling. Otherwise the number I don't use associated with my service plan will be what I call from :/
First time hearing of this, does it work from outside the US? Not like, buy it in the US, use it anywhere, but, buy outside the US, use outside the US. How does it work with countries that need registration to own a phone number?
it's been great for the most part. i think if you got a regular tracfone or tmobile number and then ported it to jmp, it would be the ultimate solution for a non-tracking (cellular tracking) phone number while also not being blocked by various services for using a "voip number"
I loved every second of using it. So much cheaper and you can call and text from everywhere in the world as long as you have an internet connection. Being able to make calls on the desktop with a desktop xmpp client is great also. if you need help, they have a very reactive support and they also gave a chat room where the employees are very active. I used for about two years and then I stopped because some services require a physical SIM card phone number (they reject VoIP ones), and I could finally find a cheap enough plan to justify not using JMP anymore.
what is your go-to solution for using JMP on desktop?
