## Verdict

JMP.chat is the XMPP-native phone-number-leasing service. Useful when you specifically want a real US/CA number that doesn't bind to a SIM and that you can pay for in crypto.

## Strengths

- Receives voice and SMS to a real phone number, delivered to your XMPP account.
- Crypto and Lightning payment accepted.
- Operator is open-source and runs a parallel XMPP server (Snikket Hosting).

## Caveats

- Canada/U.S. number pool — number geography matters for some uses (banks, OTPs).
- Voice quality depends on XMPP-Jingle codecs.
- Facts need re-verification by operator (last seeded 2026-01).
