I don’t use apps like whatsapp or skype because they sell my data and don’t trust them.

I was hoping for a foss alternative to talk to my parents, regular folk who need something easy to set up on their android devices, ideally through fdroid.

I don’t want to reveal a real phone number because I don’t want ads from nobody.

I don’t need to see my parent’s faces, I just need to talk to them and maybe send files and lines of text.

    I’m a big fan of Jami too. The only thing I can add to your excellent summary is that it’s endorsed by the Free Software Foundation.

    You’re right about it being fussy with clients though.
