I've been meaning to do this with a legacy phone number that I'd like to
keep around...


My question is - what is SMS / MMS send & receive like via this service?
Have you tried it?

Do the "softphones" support this?

I'd intended to use my Android phone for whatever I use $old_number for, 
but now I'm considering the desktop experience.

Expanding on that, anyone have recommendations for Android apps that can 
act as VoIP.ms clients, preferably FLOSS?  Does the built-in phone app 
support this?


Many thanks.
