Mattermost is really nice. They added voice calling as a beta feature a while ago and it works pretty good so far.
Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Also a vote for Matrix and Synapse. Works great and you can decide if you federate or not.
Why? Existing platforms, especially the plain cell network, are going to be far more compatible and reliable.
Cellphone network calls / texts aint secure at all. If you want to communicate in a secure way you need to use another seevice/app.
Many stated matriy as selfhostable service and i totally agree. Signal/Threema are also good options If you dont want to selhost.
Since we use Nextcloud, we just use Talk. It works well enough for us, but you should also host a TURN/STUN Server with that.
