JMP.chat review — coming soon
Our long-form review of JMP.chat — the privacy-friendly phone-number-to-XMPP gateway — is in testing. This page previews what the published review will cover. It is intentionally noindex so it doesn't compete with the eventual review in search results.
Why we're reviewing JMP.chat
JMP.chat occupies a different corner of the privacy-SMS market: instead of an encrypted dashboard, your number is bridged to an XMPP account so you read and send messages from any XMPP client. We're benchmarking it against the Crypton.sh Secure SMS service so readers can compare the dashboard-encrypted model with the federated-XMPP model.
What we'll test
- Number provisioning experience — which countries, how long.
- XMPP client compatibility across at least three popular clients.
- Voice quality on inbound and outbound calls.
- MMS support (where JMP differs notably from most competitors).
- Encryption claims — what's encrypted, what isn't, with respect to the XMPP relay.
- Identity model — what JMP.chat actually knows about you.
- Bitcoin / Bitcoin Cash payment flow.
- Open-source provenance of the underlying Cheogram software.
- Pricing tiers and per-message economics versus a dashboard service.
