I saw a mention of jmp.chat in r/privacy last month, and thought I'd check it out. Once it's set up, you get a US or Canadian phone number based on the XMPP/Jabber open source protocol, for the equivalent of $2.99 per month. And they accept BCH! You can kinda tell they're FOSS nerds, because their nomenclature is all over the place. You sign up for the number on the jmp.chat website. The website that explains the project is wiki.soprani.ca , and the app, which I believe is a fork of the jabber client Conversations, is called cheogram. I'm no super nerd, but I was able to get up and running with a phone number in my local area code which works on linux, android, ios, windows, and macos. Pretty damn cool, and all for less than 40 bucks a year, in BCH(!). Bad ass, and works great so far. So far ,BCH payments are manual, meaning you tell them how many months you want to pay for via the cheogram support line using any jabber client (confusing, yes). They invoice you an amount, you send it, and then give them the transaction id. No name, email or 'real' cell phone number needed for sign up.
