For people who are looking for a similar setup, jmp.chat is an alternative service built on free software and a voip provider like twilio. They forward SMS over XMPP and you can make calls with any old SIP client. Its literally a bunch of ruby scripts, a very charming project. I jumped ship from twilio after they made payments without a credit card impossible for small-timers like myself.

Number availability in some area codes is pretty limited with jmp.chat as they use the same underlying carrier as Google Voice.

We don't always provide our complete number list at https://jmp.chat/ - as an example, we usually have off-list numbers available in area codes like 416 and 212.

Just message the JMP support number ([phone]) or my Jabber ID, [e-mail] , to let us know which area code(s) you're interested in and we can send you a number list.
