@agx@librem.one Yes, that's supperior if sending SMS is cheap or flat. I looked around for cheap SMS and it seems to depend on the volume: either a flat starting from 3,50€ / month or some internet service charging around 0,06 € / SMS.

And there are shady services offering SMS for free via form on the internet. I don't believe in services that are for free and protect my privacy.

The companies I use for calling I do pay already even though I believe that calling for signaling only might be against my contract.

I guess the best solution will be if people join into groups to drive a SMS flat to share the monthly price. The groups still would need to trust each member or at least the admins, because they have their numbers.

Implementing a notification distributor into chatty is a genius move 😀. It'd be great if it could subscribe over IP as well. This could open the way to a protocol that avoids sending SMS in times the distributor is online and receiving notifications via IP.

This could work like a fallback connection: if the notification server doesn't detect the distributor getting a notification it'll fallback to pushing it out by SMS.
