About ChatterboxTown.US

ChatterboxTown.US is a public XMPP instant messaging service provider hosted in
the USA. XMPP is a privacy and security focused, instant messaging protocol. No
phone number or email required to create an account. With OMEMO enabled
messaging clients, your communication is end to end encrypted.

It is our goal to help promote interest, development, and the practical use of
the XMPP protocol, its messaging platforms, and related projects. We hope to see
a more universal interoperability between Android, iOS, Linux, and Windows
operating systems.

At this time we unfortunately do not recommend our service for iOS users if you
intend to take advantage of XMPP audio/video calling. While the feature works in
general, there is still a problem with call notifications. iOS will not ring
when the messaging app is backgrounded (or when the phone is sleeping). We would
recommend iOS users use the sure.im XMPP service provider for better
compatibility with iOS devices. Otherwise, our service works fine for general
text messaging since push notifications will notify you of incoming messages
while the messing app is backgrounded or when the phone is asleep.

This server runs ejabberd version 21.12 on Ubuntu version 20.04.3 LTS on a VPS
at a professional hosting provider.

To use our instant messaging service, you first need to create an account:




CLICK HERE TO CREATE AN XMPP ACCOUNT.



In-band registration is also available on XMPP clients that support it



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Log in to your account with an XMPP/Jabber client such as the following:



 * blabber.im (Android) Download from Google Play Store
 * SiskinIM (iOS) Download from the Apple App Store
 * Gajim (Linux/Windows)
 * BeagleIM (macOS)



There are other XMPP clients available.  However, to get you started quickly we
recommend those clients for your appropriate devices because they have the
feature sets that can give a new user a more complete experience of XMPP from
the start.

Web Browser XMPP Chat Clients

You can use the following web based XMPP clients to chat via the web browser.
Simply use your account name (i.e. username@chatterboxtown.us) and your
password. Your contact list and bookmarked group chats will also be available in
the web based clients.

We host a Movim Pod at movim.chatterboxtown.us which is a web XMPP client and a
federated social network. You can use our Movim Pod to log into your
ChatterboxTown.US XMPP account or any other XMPP service provider account. You
can also use our Movim web client to register an account on this XMPP server.
Noteable features include OMEMO, audio/video calling, file transfers, and
blogging. Learn more about Movim here. The Movim Project is currently looking
for artists that would like to help with artwork for the project.

We host a converse.js web client at chatterboxtown.us/cjs Our converse.js web
client will only allow login and registration to ChatterboxTown.US accounts. We
make this available for your convenience and to demonstrate the converse.js web
client. We encourage you to run your own converse.js web client if you have your
own web server and some technical knowledge. Notable features include OMEMO and
file transfers. Unfortunately, converse.js does not yet support audio/video
calling.

We also host a JavaScript XMPP Client (JSXC) web client at
chatterboxtown.us/jsxc. Our JSXC web client will only allow login to
ChatterboxTown.US accounts. We make this available for your convenience and to
demonstrate the JSXC web client. We encourage you to run your own JSXC web
client if you have your own web server and some technical knowledge. Notable
features include OMEMO, file transfers, and audio/video calling.

Send SMS/MMS and Make Calls from Your XMPP Account

Another great service to look at is JMP.chat. With this service, you can get a
phone number to be able to send and receive SMS via your JID. Incoming and
outgoing voice calls work with XMPP clients that support it. There is voicemail
and voicemail transcription sent to your JID. Visit JMP.chat for more details!

ChattterboxTown.US is 100% compliant as tested by Compliance Test @
Conversations.im.





We also maintain an A rating on IM Observatory's security tests.









--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The ChatterboxTown.US XMPP server has been configured with the following
settings:

 * This server is capable of message archiving, but that option can be turned on
   or off by the chat client setting.
 * One on one chats are archived by default, unless the chat client explicity
   disables chat archiving.
 * Group chats (or Multi-User Chat, MUC) have message archiving turned off by
   default. It must be explicitly enabled by the room admin in room settings via
   the chat client. NOTE: Some clients have message archiving turned on by
   default when creating a room. Double check your room settings. There is a 20
   message history retrieval limit.
 * You can transfer files up to 2GB in size. However, your user account will
   only accomodate up to 4GB total file data in a 7 day period. So, if you send
   a 2GB file, you will be only be able to transfer another 2GB of files until
   the previous files expire and free up space.
 * File retention maximum 7 days
 * Audio and Video calls are available on messaging clients that support them.
   So far, only Movim (web client), JSXC (web client), Conversations and
   blabber.im (Android), and Siskin (iOS) are known to actually be able to do
   audio and video calls with each other. Gajim (Linux) is known to have working
   audio and video calling, but only with other Gajim clients. Gajim for Windows
   has not had working audio or video for decades.
 * We do not collect personal information and we respect your privacy. But, we
   would like to remind you that YOU are in charge of your privacy with XMPP. Be
   sure to use a client that supports OMEMO or OpenPGP and enable it for end to
   end encryptioin of messages and data between you and your recipient. Yes, the
   server will archive these exchanges for a short amount of time, but with end
   to end encrytion enabled on YOUR and YOUR RECIPIENT'S messaging client, the
   server only recieves encrypted data that only YOU and YOUR RECIPIENT can
   decrypt.
 * The Biboumi IRC Gateway has been added to our service. You can now use your
   XMPP account and client to connect to IRC channels. For example, if you want
   to join the IRC channel #channelname at IRC server irc.server.com, in your
   XMPP client you would join MUC address
   #channelname%irc.server.com@ircgw.chatterboxtown.us See Biboumi End-user
   Documentation for more usage help. This feature has been added to
   ChatterboxTown.US for convenience. But please note the IRC gateway does not
   conform to the same privacy level as our main XMPP service, whether you're
   using encryption or not. This is exactly as if you were running your IRC
   client on someone else's server. Only use our Biboumi IRC gateway if you
   don't intend to have any private conversation on the IRC channels.

Join the Federated Social Network

We host a federated social network node (powered by Friendica) at
Social.ChatterboxTown.US. Friendica is social network platform that is similar
to Facebook in style. Another federated social network you might have heard of
is Mastodon (which is more like a hybrid of Twitter and Tumblr). Since Friendica
and Mastodon web sites a part of the federated social network, your Friendica
account can follow and interact with Mastodon site accounts and vice versa. Web
sites interacting with each other rather than only users of just a single site
like Facebook.

Please note that your XMPP and Friendica accounts here are not linked. Each will
require its own registration. This web page is for the XMPP registration. To
register on our Friendica node, please go to Social.ChatterboxTown.US.
