I need a messenger that can work without a sim card. I tried jami but didn’t really like it. Thanks everyone

    I don’t know why people are downvoting you, might have better luck in something like a technology-centered community or putting some more information like what device or uses you have for it.

    If you’re looking for an app for a mobile device while connected to wifi, there are a lot out there but they are all pretty sketchy in my experience (thinking like text-now which offers a free limited number to use but privacy and ad-blocking get thrown out the window). If you’re looking for a messenger that doesn’t have a number associated with it, something like matrix that was suggested should work (or whatever preference the people you communicate the most with prefer).

      Exactly, I’m looking for an app that only requiere wifi and supports calling. I already tried jami but it’s not very reliable for some reason

        hmm, well it’s unfortunately usually a “you pay for what you get”. If you’re not paying then you’re gonna end up as the product. I only have experience with “text now” which I’ve used in a pinch before and it has some limitations on the calls which you’ll usually end up running into on any app. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was some better ones out there. If you’re worried about what kind of App you’re downloading you might try the !privacy@lemmy.ml community as someone there might have a better source that isn’t constructed to mine your data.
