You are welcome. I use "voip.ms" (a commercial grade VoIP provider that also sells to consumers) for the service, Acrobits Groundwire for the voice app, and "voip.ms SMS" for the texting app. Yes, the audio quality varies with the Internet connection. Incoming audio is usually very good, while outgoing can range from very good to barely understandable. Unlike with a phone's built-in voice app, there is no guaranteed quality of service within the phone itself nor via the mobile carrier's telephony standards. So, some other app can compete for Internet communication and chop up your audio. It seems to be better now that I disabled frequent syncing of my conventional email app. But the surge in Internet traffic since the pandemic is causing new challenges. I don't do a lot of voice calls, so it's not a big deal to me.
Yes, but I'm not a VoIP user on iPhone. I recommend searching this subforum for VoIP threads to learn more.I switched from iOS to Android just because of the call recording feature. It it is no longer available, I may just switch back. Can VoIP app uses on iPhone?
I am pleased to see that there is still some usefulness to 3rd party apps here. Note that even this app's description say that it won't work for some. You can see in the user complaint on 2020apr30 that someone is getting recordings with no audio. That's exactly what happens on all modern phones that I've tried so far with my own VoIP app's recording (it also supports conventional calls).shabby wrote: ↑ I use acr on my s20, works fine. https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... r&hl=en_CA

Thanks, tried it, it doesn’t work for me. Just same as the other apps, “unable to use microphone”.shabby wrote: ↑ I use acr on my s20, works fine. https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... r&hl=en_CA

This is totally new to me. So I need to get a VoIP app and a Voip service provider?
This will be my stay home project. Thanks,
In the case of voip.ms, yes, you get the service and then buy your choice of apps to make it work on your phone. You can also get devices to allow landline-like service at home. It's a commercial service that can be made to do all manner of lovely things that would normally be of interest to an office, such as ring groups and such. I think that the consensus here is in favour of Acronis Groundwire being the best voice service app.
I used this app before, but it stopped working for me since beginning of this year. I just emailed them and waiting for their replyToDealHunter wrote: ↑ I use the app cube ACR and it works great
I couldnt find cheapskates on Play store, but downloaded Forgo. Seem like they don’t support call recording. Will try some other apps.

There are VoIP apps that are all-in-one apps with service, and may have more consumer-oriented features (such as MMS or RCS, and at least partial support for shortcode SMS to work with two-factor authentication, free versions for cheapskates, etc). Many VoIP brands in Canada are essentially the same things operated by common companies. The best known brand in Canada is probably Fongo. I haven't tried it because of a lot of complaints about quality of service. voip.ms still isn't the same QoS as the "real" voice and text via cellular carriers, but it's probably the highest quality VoIP in Canada, from what I gather on this and other forums.
