@ubuntutouchluvr :
For Telegram messaging, you can install the app Teleports from our (default installed) OpenStore.
For information on using Linphone with a sip provider like jmp.chat, I guess it's best to go here:

@alter Thanks for the reply, alter, i appreciate it very much.

@alter I got the teleports app from the open store, but when i click on the link to join the group, they say to enter a phone number. But i don't have a phone number on my pixel phone yet. What number do i need to put in there?
-
@alter i have a Boost Mobile sim card in my pixel. It has a phone number, but i can't get it to work with the phone because of UT's lack of support for VoLTE. Should i use that number?
-
@ubuntutouchluvr Use whichever number you usually use on Telegram. If this is the first setup use your main phone number.

Any number where you can receive an sms (text message).

@moem Okay, i put in my iphone #, but it just takes me to a place called GitLab. I registered and signed up, but i'm not sure how to install the Telegram app. I think you have to use the terminal in UT, but i don't know how to enter the commands in the UT terminal. Sorry about sounding like a complete n00b at this, but i am

@ubuntutouchluvr for UT Teleports is the telegram app. You can sign in with your registered phone number, it works like as if it was an e-mail address, you don't need the sim card to be in the device. You don't need to do anything in the terminal.

@lundrin17 All i get when i click on the Teleports app is this page
-
@ubuntutouchluvr That's the About page. Tap the arrow in the top left corner to get back to the actual app.
-
@moem Thanks. Can you use Teleports to make audio calls, or is it just for text messaging?

It cannot make audio calls yet. But Telegram for web (used in a browser such as Morph) can do video/audio chat. Log in with the same account details.
https://web.telegram.org/If you want to make phonecalls to normal phone numbers, I believe Linphone as mentioned above is the default method. I have no experience with that.

@ubuntutouchluvr audio calls unfortunatelly you can't make yet, only text or voice messages
-
TelegramWebZ is very nice to make audio and video calls. TelegramZ is in constant progress. You can make a webapp with Webber (see OpenStore) from this link and thus leave the webapp constantly open. There is also the Webapp mywebtelegram by Jose M Reyes which is very good on the OpenStore to use in telegramZ version.

@domubpkm Thanks for the replies, guys. I installed the app by Jose Reyes, it works pretty well.
What i would really like to do is make regular phone calls. Can somebody chime in about Linphone, and how do i get it on UT?
-
@ubuntutouchluvr There is this Telegram group https://t.me/+Fvp5xF2fK-E2Yzcx (needs to be opened in a web browser) and this thread may be of some use https://forums.ubports.com/topic/7536/volte-voice-over-long-term-evolution/18?_=1663773860956

@lakotaubp That's an imformative thread, lakotaubp, thanks for the link.

@ubuntutouchluvr :
I was at work, so did not have time to reply. But I see others have already answered your questions.
I guess you are from the U.S. and need an alternative to make calls, now that 2G/3G is switched off?
Then Linphone is the way to go for now.Regular user, UT since 2020, Now: Volla Phone (20.04 Stable)

@alter Okay, i'll look into Linphone. Thanks for the reply, alter
