If you pick a JMP number, you can port your JMP to a cell service, and a cell number can be ported to JMP.

I believe, but I may be wrong, that cell/mobile companies get a different batch of numbers from VoIP companies, so if you port a cell number to JMP, it will likely still be believed to be a cell number, but I can't say 100% concerete for sure.

It's exclusively my phone number using Cheogram app from F-Droid. I paid for 2 numbers, one number is for bank and credit cards, I use that number to call financial places or verify login. My other number is my personal number and for Molly/Signal, etc.

Since JMP only requires XMPP, a federated service, it's essentially an anonymous phone service, and if you travel internationally, you connect to wi-fi in a different country and can make local calls to anyone back home.

All it is is a VoIP number, and some services detect a VoIP number and require a cell number, but you can port your cell number to JMP, you don't have to have a new number from JMP.

You mean they'll be returning more of people's money that they take from people by force and imprisionment if people don't pay. This a bribe. The government has no money except fr the money that they take from everybody else. This is nothing more than giving people back their own money that the government took from them.

I'm in full blanket agreement you. Everything you said, I strongly support you.

The problem is not simple capitalism, because capitalism is how we have grocery store variety and clothes to buy. Gaming as been messed up due to all this IPO junk, shareholders, equity companies, I'm fully with you without exception.

I'm not sure if you are saying that the stock market has destroyed quality gaming, due to corporations constantly trying to cash in from obligations to stockholders, but that's my position. The crass consumerism that have an unfillable hole that is in perpetual persuit of the next new game release. I blame the lack of quality individuals in society, how hollow people are that people have nothing interesting happening in life so their life revolves around the internet and blah blah blah online, rather than focusing on building a life outside without getting everything through a screen. Corporations have exploited how empty day to day people are.

What goes wrong with a person for them to get cheat software because they are so determined to win rather than either practice and develop their skill or accept the fact that they don't have what it takes to win a specific game, and be comfortable with the possibility that game is not for them? The second someone attempts to cheat or hack in a video game, they have immediately proven themself to be a complete loser.

Kids must be the first priority, all day everyday. Games come when you have the time, and if you're not able to play for 3 weeks, that's how life goes as a good parent.

I have nothing to say about people who go out to places together sometimes also playing together in a game occassion, all fine and well.

Multiplayer with random whoever happens to be online at the time, that's the stuff I call entirely useless and pointless.

Every and all people who can play games for a consistent 12 to 18 only have a screwed future ahead of them. 3 to 4 hours of games can be a great time, 18 straight hours of gaming, that person has emotional problems.

Would you agree that games are simple entertainment, not a goal in life, to one day get good a specific game for multiplayer?

As an exclusive campaign single player, I say every and all multiplayer is trash garbage. Games are strictly entertainment for something to enjoy. Winning is irrelevent, the experience is what's important.

I only buy games that have a story campaign with replay value and I refuse to do any online multiplayer. I don't feel better for beating other people, it's nothing more than a game. People are not interested in how many times someone else wins at video games, it's only a hobby. People who cheat in games are losers who have nothing outside, going out with friends to enjoy.

For privacy, any ISP can technically see everything you do online including phone using wi-fi unless a device or syatem uses a VPN, Tor, or i2p, but that does not mean the ISP is keeping records of what an account does online. They may have no interest.

For security, you definitely need your own router. If you can build a system to use as a router running OpenBSD or pfSense, at leaat use a router with open source firmware so your router traffic is not going to someone else and an open source router will give you a lot more extensive network functionalities.

Please help me understand, is that supposed to hurt my feelings or am I supposed to be overwhelmed by that? Am I supposed to ask how you can be obtuse?
