I've used it for the last 3 years, and it costs money, but jmp.chat is a drop in replacement for Google voice. It has clients for all platforms, and features synchronization amongst other things. Give it a shot.
An Fdroid version of the app? Awesome. I'll check this out. I started out on GV but left years ago when I degoogled.
Edit: How is the call quality?
The call quality is the same as normal cell phone service as far as I can tell.
Is it FOSS? I'm having a difficult time locating its source.
I assumed it was, as I believe the jmp.chat folks have claimed their entire platform is open source, but I could be remembering incorrectly.
If anyone has a referral code they'd like to share for jmp.chat, please DM me 🥺
How do contacts work? I assume you use cheogram. Does cheogram access your phone's contacts, or does it have a separate database of contacts?
If I recall correctly, it just syncs with your local contacts, but they also get propagated across platforms. So it's the best of both worlds.
