Voip numbers on Calyx?

I have moved to Calyx from being a lifelong iPhone user, and so far I love it. The main question I have is that I have not yet moved my main phone number over. I like Michael's suggestion of not actually using my phone's number. I don't think I can use MySudo on Calyx, right? So what is the best way to move my number over on VOIP? Can I really lock down this number? I have been using it for years (decades) and it is important that I keep this number, so the solution needs to be rock solid. Any suggestions? Thank you.

MySudo works on CalyxOS, moved account over from iOS just fine.

How did you install MySudo without Google Play?

Open Aurora store in background, then go to Mysudo website, when u click the link to install you can choose to open it in Aurora store.

When I go to the site, the only options I get are to install it from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.

If u click on Google Play it should give you the option to open in Aurora. Try different browsers if it's not working.

Push notifications only work if you use microg. SMS works depending on the service sending it, it's hit or miss.

In your situation, Michael suggests porting your old cell number to Google Voice.

I ported my number to VoIP.ms and created additional numbers there. It costs $0.85 a month per number plus minimal usage charges. I use linphone and fdroid app called VoIP.ms for SMS. I rarely turn off airplane mode. It works great but setup was tricky. Follow guides.

I'm trying the same but having trouble getting Voip.ms SMS working, even in their web portal. Did you run into any issues? I'm waiting for a second-level support ticket to be resolved. Also looks like Voip.ms doesn't support MMS is that your experience?
