Yeah, it’s a great combo for someone who’s technically inclined and privacy-minded. It’s not for everyone though.
Some cons are:
For people who spend a lot of time chatting remotely over legacy phone service, like say a field worker who has to be on call, there’s just enough latency to make the conservation difficult at times. For me, I rarely make legacy-style voice calls, and when I do, I’m almost always on WiFi so everything is fine. But for those that don’t fit that profile, it might be a problem.
Also note that since JMP is a VoIP service, some institutions (typically banks) won’t send a TFA code to you. This isn’t a JMP-specific issue. It applies to all VoIP services. Again, not a huge issue for me but it could be for some. Some people choose to have a $5 flip phone or other SMS services for such situations. Others choose to have the TFA code sent via email. For others it’s a non issue. Just depends who you do business with.
