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.
JMP is my recommendation too. I don't think you can pause it, but the cost is so low it might not matter.
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.

Nice thanks
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
