Many bureaucratic institutions that we are forced to deal with make it difficult to live without a phone: health care, banking, etc. Communicating with bureaucracies doesn't need to be encrypted, so you can use a [Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)](/glossary#voip-voice-over-internet-protocol) application. This allows you to make phone calls over the Internet rather than through cell towers.
Any VoIP application that is available on a computer is asynchronous because it doesn't ring when the computer is off — you rely on the voicemail feature to return missed calls. For example, a service like [jmp.chat](https://www.kicksecure.com/wiki/Mobile_Phone_Security#Phone_Number_Registration_Unlinked_to_SIM_Card) gives you a VoIP number, which you can pay for in cryptocurrency, and you make calls using an XMPP application — [Cheogram](https://cheogram.com/) works well.

For example, a service like [jmp.chat](https://www.kicksecure.com/wiki/Mobile_Phone_Security#Phone_Number_Registration_Unlinked_to_SIM_Card) gives you a VoIP number, which you can pay for in Bitcoin, and you make calls using an XMPP application — [Cheogram](https://cheogram.com/) works well.
Though usually more expensive than VoIP, a flip phone or landline also works well for making and receiving 'bureaucratic' calls from home, like those mentioned above.
