From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

New to Linux, I am on Ubuntu 24.04.

I am trying to have my phone calls go from my phone to my laptop. I did some online searching and found KDE connect. I can recieve and send texts on KDE connect but can't call

Am I doing something wrong or should I use something else?

Thanks for reading

https://jmp.chat/ could do this depending on where you live.

Interesting, I knew they provide SIM for non eSIM phones (have a JMP SIM on the way with its USB adapter) but didn't know about that service. Can you please explain a bit more how it works?

PS: for Europeans who worry about tariffs, mine wasn't sent from the US, or Canada, but rather Netherlands, FWIW.

Haven't used this services but I keep seeing other people talking about it. From their FAQ : https://jmp.chat/faq

Q4. How do I make a phone call with my JMP number?

The easiest way is to make a call from your Jabber app, if you are using a supporting app such as Cheogram Android, Conversations, Snikket, or Movim. Simply add a contact just as you would for messaging and then select the voice call option in your app.

Q10. JMP currently only provides numbers in the USA and Canada. These numbers can make and receive both calls and messages with any country in the world.
