I’m thinking of opening an account with them, but I see im their website that they restrict incoming and outgoing calls to 120 minutes a month total. The whole reason I want to start using XMPP is so that I can give my real number out as sparingly as possible, but with only 2 hours a month total I’m not sure ill even be able to do that.

Anyone using JMP? If so how does the limit affect you if at all?

    it’s not a cap, it’s that the monthly fee covers 120 mins. overages accrue per-minute charges, but if you’re routinely needing more than 2h talk time, jmp may not be the best answer

    q21 on https://jmp.chat/faq

    Every JMP plan comes with calling credit, worth approximately 120 minutes within the US & Canada, included in the monthly price. By default accounts are set to be warned when this limit is reached so no one gets any surprise charges without getting permission first. You can adjust your plan settings with the bot to raise this limit and allow your account balance to be directly billed for any minutes over the included amount.

      You have to talk a lot more than 2 hours before the per-minute fee starts to cost anything substantial. Unless you’re on the phone all day every day odds are it will be cost effective for you.

      I only really call for stuff that’s necessary, doctors appointments tech support etc. I think 2 hours in that case should be fine then, at the very least a trial run is in order. Thanks my ass definitely should’ve checked the FAQ
