it depends on who you want to talk to. If the protocol does not matter I suggest matrix. Otherwise I suggest more specifics.

Just my friend who doesn’t have a sim card, he has an android phone

Matrix / Element should work fine then.

Signal is a very popular option.

I don’t know why people are downvoting you, might have better luck in something like a technology-centered community or putting some more information like what device or uses you have for it.

If you’re looking for an app for a mobile device while connected to wifi, there are a lot out there but they are all pretty sketchy in my experience (thinking like text-now which offers a free limited number to use but privacy and ad-blocking get thrown out the window). If you’re looking for a messenger that doesn’t have a number associated with it, something like matrix that was suggested should work (or whatever preference the people you communicate the most with prefer).

Exactly, I’m looking for an app that only requiere wifi and supports calling. I already tried jami but it’s not very reliable for some reason

Cataphract ,

hmm, well it’s unfortunately usually a “you pay for what you get”. If you’re not paying then you’re gonna end up as the product. I only have experience with “text now” which I’ve used in a pinch before and it has some limitations on the calls which you’ll usually end up running into on any app. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was some better ones out there. If you’re worried about what kind of App you’re downloading you might try the !privacy community as someone there might have a better source that isn’t constructed to mine your data.

If you want a simpler solution than Matrix and don’t mind using a non-opensource app you could try twinme. You only need a username and a picture to create an account (could be anything, “Jane Doe” and a white square if you want). It has a couple unique features like multiple identities and click-to-call links, which you can share with people who don’t have the app so they can call you using only a web browser (e.g. on craigslist, lost pet flyers, …).

I work on this app as a full-stack dev, and for what it’s worth we only upload/store data that is strictly required for the app to work. We’re lobbying to open source it because we have nothing to hide and we know how important it is for the privacy/security minded folks, but it will take some convincing before management agrees to it…

There’s always good old Discord, you just need WiFi.

I’m confused, why hasn’t Signal been suggested? Pretty sure it works just fine with WiFi only.

kaedon ,

Signal is probably your best bet for a solid user-friendly (and privacy respecting) experience with calls. Matrix/element is another decent option (its federated like lemmy and mastodon) but a bit less intuitive.

SimpleX Messenger is a great option.
