Thanks. I thought I did my research, but I missed Session completely!
I'm embarrassed I missed it, but I do very much appreciate your input.

Thanks for finding it.

Reading up on the open source "Session" software, it seems to focus on
privacy and anonymity by using a decentralized server network, onion
routing, E2E encryption, and no phone number or email being required. 

It apparently differs from Whatsapp and Signal by anonymizing metadata,
where the closest apps in my list seems to perhaps be Jitsi & Jami.

It seems the video/voice calling features may be in beta at this moment.
Is that a decent quick summary from reading the Session web pages?
