Now that I'm using #LineageOS, using #MySudo for #VoIP isn't possible (the Aurora Store workaround works so far as getting the app installed, but then it throws an error when you try to open it).
I *really* want to get #Twilio numbers in the #Linphone app to work as a VoIP solution, but I've had no success so far. (The last time I tried, my Twilio account was suspended for some reason.)
Anyone know of any good Twilio/Linphone VoIP setup tutorials?
@techygrue
Thanks. Are there other providers could recommend? I couldn't find much for the UK.
@syntax Here are a couple I've personally used, but I don't know specifics around UK numbers. These are NOT endoresements, and I haven't analyzed their privacy policies.
SignalWire: BY far the easiest to get up and running and cleanest interface.
VoIP.ms: The website is old fashioned, and they don't support MMS, but they had good call routing options.
If you want full call and MMS functionality, you have to go with Broadband or a reseller. Pinger app (aka TextFree) MIGHT work with Lineage?
@syntax I use a combo of all of these.
I honestly just wish MySudo would quit relying on Google/Apple services for app functionality. That's the only reason I haven't become a paid subscriber.
Given that one of the first recommendations in the privacy community is to dump large tracking companies like Google, I'm saddened that MySudo relies on these companies to make their app function. Hopefully they change that in the future.
@techygrue
Ignore my last toot. Saw these replies too late. Thanks for your suggestions!
@techygrue
Could you outline how to actually buy numbers and use these services. I went to try the SignalWire Cloud voice thing but every time I submitted details to sign up it just refreshed and wiped what I'd put in. Have you used these services with something like Linphone?
@techygrue @syntax I have heard of some success with VoIP.ms + Linphone (no personal experience).
Was not aware MySudo finally released the Android application - I may give it a try.
@infinite_impedance
Thanks, I went to try VoIP.ms, but not too sure how to actually buy and set up UK numbers through their site. It seemed not very user friendly on mobile.
@techygrue
I only went for Twilio as I thought they were pretty much the only decent solution out there. My new accounts with them seem to get suspended every time, probably because I use a VPN and script blockers. What provider would you recommend for simply one or two UK VoIP numbers I can use with Linphone app?
@syntax I was trying to do the exact same thing a while back: looking for MySudo replacement. Are you specifically looking for Twilio voip? Lots of cheaper, easier platforms out there. I found twilio uniquely challenging to work with. Try a different Voip provider perhaps.
