A Jami alternative / Take 2

OK after scraping Skype & my Skype account a while ago I gave Jami a spin & soon became to meet the "issues" associated with decentralised services - how they can be fixed I don't know.
So I'm on the lookout for something reliable with GNU/Linux, Windows, iOS and Android clients available, Ideally respecting the GNU freedoms. Secure, Supports online presence, messaging, file transfer, voice (cam to cam chats would be nice). All of those would be nice.
Can anyone recommend a service / client?
strypey was recently praising Matrix: https://trisquel.info/forum/native-matrix-clients-needed-gnulinux-distros
It is decentralized, but maybe (I do not know) more stable than Jami.

Blink just works (it's a SIP client).
SIP seems to be a possible solution, but I don't quite get how it works. Is SIP network somehow connected to the actual telephony? Is it possible (and documented how!) to set up your own SIP server just for yourself, without connecting it to SIP network?

Yeah you can setup your own SIP server or use a free or paid one (the paid ones let you ring landlines and give you a phone number). I use the free Linphone account - a cached version of the registration page which I failed to access at the moment can be found here:

Setting up a SIP server is discussed here:

Wow! Thanks for the links and explaination! Hopefully, we'll finally have a conversations tool, that works :)
