I have been thinking about going with JMP chat and if I do that's probably what I would do just port my current number to them so that I don't lose it since that's my primary number and I don't really want to deal with getting a new one and giving it out to everybody.
Get a prepaid with an eSIM with AT&T/Rogers (or any of their MVNO's) for maximum compatibility; cheapest the better. You need an eSIM compatible phone. You can verify this through the carrier's site from your phone.
Only need the IMEI and Account number essentially
Port the number to voip.ms
Do whatever you want with that number for like pennies a year.
VoIP.ms has an SMS app for android that I know of
Even if it's more expensive, I will probably go with JMP because it's open source and open source to me is a hill I am willing to die on. I do absolutely everything I possibly can to use only open source software at any time that it is feasibly possible to do so.
