I use XMPP with everyone who is willing to join and am available via text, e-mail and normal phone calls for those who don't want to join.
However, it is a bit difficult with phone calls to countries outside of the EU: Sometimes I agree on using an old Skype account, sometimes I use my Nextcloud.
In theory, XMPP could handle that too, but in reality, none of my XMPP-clients has a great call experience (same old 'XMPP-clients need some love' song).

I have been moving very much to texts. The fear usually is, though, that someone might have to pay to contact me which is not ideal. Such a shame XMPP isn't foolproof for calls
