New to Linux, I am on Ubuntu 24.04.
I am trying to have my phone calls go from my phone to my laptop. I did some online searching and found KDE connect. I can recieve and send texts on KDE connect but can’t call
Am I doing something wrong or should I use something else?
Thanks for reading
This is the most solid solution IMO. I use Linphone on desktop with a Twilio phone number over SIP.
It works. Not that I get to try it often: I consider phone calls a barbaric relic of the past and get by fine without them. I use the number to receive 2FA SMS mostly.
Oof, you’re gonna get your account stolen. Never do 2FA over SMS.
First, there’s often no choice, it’s SMS 2FA or no 2FA. Personally I would prefer no 2FA at all because, as mentioned, I’m doing this all on desktop. The attacker would need physical access to my encrypted computer. Not happening.
Nah, its less secure with SMS as its frequently used a s a backdoor to replace your first factor.
You do have a choice, email their security team and tell them why you’re closing your account.
If its SMS, they dont need access to your desktop because they can either sniff it on the network or social engineer the provider. SMS is less secure than nothing.
