JMP.chat is your best choice for the most privacy-oriented VOIP service. Paired with the Cheogram app on FDroid, it's a great user experience. they can port numbers in and out as well. you can pay with monero/btc/eth.
I am not sure about pausing though, I would ask them what your options are.
Do they have encryption?
encryption for what exactly?
So that the messages aren't sitting unencrypted on the XMPP servers.
i think you'll have to ask them, if they even store the messages, i think maybe they just relay them, but it honestly doesnt matter bro, text messages are the most insecure communication on the planet, i think more insecure than JMP's xmpp servers.
For the $5 first payment, they have a partnership with Snikket who will setup and administer a private XMPP server for you. It's included in the price if service and is retained for as long as you maintain a server. You can use it for any XMPP thing you want, and have as many users on it as you want.
very cool, i did not know that, thanks
We can't prove what they do on their devices. We encrypt.

JMP is my recommendation too. I don't think you can pause it, but the cost is so low it might not matter.
When i tried they didn't do MMS properly. So YMMV.
worked for me, send and receive
If I can find my message to them, I'll post what it was. I can't remember if the messages arrived oddly or if it was sending pictures, etc. etc. It was just some hangup where I couldn't justify going to it. I would've liked to otherwise because like OP I basically only use Google at all for GV.
did you use Cheogram? also reach out to their group chat or support, they are very helpful
Nice thanks
