HushSMS

The best alternative to JMP.chat

A phone number bridged into XMPP, run by long-standing free-software people.

Quick answer

JMP.chat is excellent if you live in XMPP and want a North American line, so the usual reason to seek an alternative is geography: it is US and Canada only in practice, and it expects you to run an XMPP client to read a text message. The strongest alternative for most people is HushSMS: 68 countries, no setup fee, published per-service success rates and Monero settlement, on the same crypto-only, no-KYC model.

FAQ

Alternatives to JMP.chat: common questions

Best alternative to JMP.chat?
HushSMS is the closest no-KYC, crypto-paid alternative to JMP.chat for most people: 68 countries, no setup fee, and a measured success rate published for every service. For a number outside North America — or simply one you can read in a browser without an XMPP client — HushSMS covers the gap, with published per-service compatibility and Monero among far more payment options. For a US line inside XMPP, JMP stays the better home.
Is there a free alternative to JMP.chat?
The only genuinely free option in this category is Google Voice, which is US-only, VoIP-classified and tied to a Google account — so it is not private. HushSMS and the other alternatives are paid because a real carrier line has a real cost; ours starts at $2.25/month with no setup fee.
What is the best no-KYC alternative to JMP.chat?
HushSMS: no identity is ever collected, payment is cryptocurrency only, and every line is a real carrier allocation that passes verification where a VoIP number is rejected. Message bodies are dropped after 24 hours and no line is tied to a name, a card or a Google account.
