Phone... We also like to meet at the pub. Plenty of cheaper options though. That bar tab adds up.

President Musk can do it, you can too.

That looks cool, but how many people are using that?

Skype is solid man
Honestly most of these recommendations are internet to internet.
Skype has $3 per month USA numbers that don’t come up as spam when you call people. Any real alternatives to this specific solution?
Ya that's annoying.
Haven't heard of that one before. Thx.
haha.

You can hide your username now, this was released a year ago or something. If you’re not comfortable with using your own number you could use services such as SMSPool.
Threema isn’t really used that much outside of Switzerland from my experience. Signal has a much bigger user base.
What's your experience with these (e.g., cross-platform support, resource usage, UX, particularly for video talks)?
To me preferring an open-source alternative with the possibility of self-hosting is a no-brainer, but I'm yet to try any of the above (I dislike calls anyway; it's always other people sending invites and most of them just use what "everyone else uses").
Jitsi reminds me a lot of Google Meet. It just works without being fancy, it does what it's supposed to without being annoying in any way. It does require some resources when you get to multiuser video chat, but so does everything else. If you need a solution where you can just send a link to someone outside your organization and have them join a meeting, this is what you need.
Mattermost is like Slack or Teams, I think it actually started because someone was pissed at Slack for some reason and decided to make their own Slack. I like Mattermost, it's perfect if you need a place for your team to collaborate. What I really don't like is that lately they have been removing features from the open source version and started to put stuff behind pay walls, it feels like they will be closed source pretty soon if it keeps up. I really really like Mattermost and I've been using it for 10+ years, but it feels like it's time to move.
