What is Cheogram?
Chat on the Jabber network (XMPP protocol); focus on features for gateway users The Cheogram Android app allows you to join a worldwide communication network. It especially focuses on features useful to users who want to contact those on other networks as well, such as SMS-enabled phone numbers.
Based on the app Conversations, but with unique features:
- Messages with both media and text, including animated media
- Unobtrusive display of subject lines, where present
- Links to known contacts are shown with their name
- Show timestamps for calls
- Missed call notifications
- Integrates with gateways' add contact flows
- When using a gateway to the phone network, integrate with the native Android Phone app
- Address book integration
Where to get service:
Cheogram Android requires you have an account with a Jabber service. You can run your own service, or use one provided by someone else, for example: https://snikket.org/hosting/

Comments and Reviews
Cheogram is awesome for use with JMP.chat. A great way to get a second phone number and keep it private.
