Hey everyone, I’m considering moving my cell phone number over to being a VoIP number with JMP.chat. Unfortunately, a lot of my family members are not the most privacy focused people in the world (they’re the “they already have my data so it doesn’t matter” types). Over the past few years, I’ve been fighting the good fight and managed to get a few of them over to using Signal and some even on Matrix, but for the vast majority of them, they still only text. They almost all use Apple products, so because I still use iPhone (switching to Graphene with my next phone), most of our conversations are via iMessage. My question is which would be more private/secure? Leaving my number as is with the cell carrier and texting via iMessage or switching my number to JMP and texting via SMS?
