Signal is great for private communication with people you already know and trust. I was in a situation where I was organizing with new friends, and we had a big group chat on Signal. I cloned Signal to a work profile, and registered it with a cheap VOIP number, so that I could keep my real phone number separate from my political organizing activities.
How is your VOIP cheap exactly? ๐ค๐ค๐ค
It's $5/mo from jmp.chat
This is way not cheap ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐
One of the main issues of jmp chat is the price
There are some VoIP services that are $20 a year, and I wanted to compare if there's anything interesting and cheap
Gotcha. It's worth it for me, but cheaper is better! You can probably use a google voice number (which is free) to register Signal.
