    I was thinking of going the jmp.chat route when Skype(in) was killed for being too popular and reliable. How’s it work for reliability?

    (It was gChat and then gTalk that used xmpp until Google sparkle-addicts rewrote their own like Bender. And during that one magical month, one could private-chat between Fb and gTalk seamlessly. It was bliss)

      I’ve had no problems with the SMS to XMPP part.

      Voice calls have been problematic, but I suspect that’s my phone (I have 2 Pixels using it, only one had voice call quality issues, the other is fine).

      Since I don’t really use voice, it’s not an issue for me. For the one phone, I just got a SIM from US Mobile and use that for voice calls, since SMS is no longer tied to the SIM!
