You're probably right about jmp.chat not working for you, at least as it is now. You can only get US and Canadian phone numbers through it last time I checked, so if you're not in either of those countries you'd be making international calls all the time and people who wanted to call you would be making international calls too.
I've seen people talk about using SIP as an intermediary: you can bridge SIP-to-XMPP, and bridge SIP-to-PSTN (PSTN = "packet switched telephone network", meaning normal telephone). You can skip the SIP-to-XMPP side if you're comfortable using a SIP client. I don't know very much about SIP or PSTN so I am not sure what to recommend, but perhaps this helps your search queries.
There are a fair number of services like TextNow that let you sign up for a real telephone number that you can then use via their app (I wouldn't use TextNow--they had tons of spyware in their app). I don't know if that kind of service works for you but if it does perhaps you'd be able to find one of them that isn't horrible. This page (https://alternativeto.net/software/jmp-chat/) has a bunch of alternatives; I can't vouch for any of them but maybe it's a starting point if you want to go this route.
Good luck!=

one of them being "Fixing Unix/Linux/POSIX Filenames: Control

Another of those, (I read it a while ago) is "Microsoft Outlook/Exchange
MS-TNEF handling (aka "Winmail.dat", "Win.dat", or "Part 1.2" problem of
unopenable email attachments)"[2]

If there aren't, could you please mention other alternative that there are? (even if you have to do some manual setup with some providers)
(I guess this would be a possible oportunity to start a company that
offered jmp.chat's functionality for other countries, (I guess having
different companies that are managed by different people for the service
of different countries (the same as jmp.chat more or less), would
encourgeage competition, but not sure))
Asking because I live in a different country, so even if I did register
to jmp.chat, the system would probably not let me send messages and or
calls to it, as it'd be a crazy expensive call or message, right?
And even if I could, calling that number would be expensive for family
and/or friends, and/or other people.

A CLA enables HashiCorp to safely commercialize our products while keeping a standard FOSS license with all the rights that the license grants to users: the ability to use the project in their own projects or businesses, to republish modified source, or to fork the project completely. this figures, everything that uses one has a free pass to hell
and I'll be quoting a friend:I'm all for more protocols to move away from the web but pls be original and actually useful
The only unreliability with calls that I've noticed was traceable to the unreliability of my own internet connection. I've confused incoming calls by simultaneously making and taking calls from the computer and the phone, but I think it's understandable that problems might arise and that's not a real use case for me. Once or twice I did not receive a text transcription of a voice mail, but the support is usually quick to address things like that.
I host my own XMPP server and have for a good decade now, and that's what I use with jmp.chat. I can't speak to the quality of their hosting options.
Group texting works fine for me if one of the other parties initiates the group text. I haven't tried to initiate my own group text in well over a year; last time I did, it didn't work. That may or may not be a problem for you, and it may or may not have been fixed by now. Worth investigating more if it's important. I should also say I've only ever used group texts with 3 participants, and can't speak to what happens if there are more nor whether there are upper limits.
Group texts don't use MUC. Rather, they use a special syntax in the JID, something like "+1XXX,+1YYY,...,+1ZZZ@cheogram.com", where the + and , are required, the XXX, YYY, through ZZZ are the phone numbers (no dashes or other special chars just digits), and the cheogram.com at the end is required.
I recommend the cheogram app if you're on android. It has a lot of nice features on top of the Conversations base. I use gajim on my (linux) computer and it works well with jmp.chat.
I'm happy to answer other questions if you have them!
a bit worn out and dehydrated from a party last night so opted for the treadmill. felt like i maybe had another couple of miles in me but i was getting in to zone 3 which the goal was recovery today.

.txt or “plain text” are ambiguous terms, I’m afraid. 🫤Other than that, it looks neat and interesting. 😅

For now, I’m drafting. Interestingly, an 80x24 terminal could fit quite a lot of plain ASCII tiles. That would be pretty close to the original game. On the other hand, if I were to use nothing but box drawing characters and made every cell on the terminal a tile, I could get a huge grid. This could allow for some new and interesting stuff, thus extending the original game. 🤔
