I basically want to talk and send messages and pictures, video call is not really that important.
other foss voip clients not currently on f-droid are welcomed.

Element X. New and improved Matrix client, so E2EE, decentralized, federated, self-hostable, etc.
Pretty sure when they said VoIP they meant SIP/RTP, not just “internet video chat”
Tried ElementX but ran into issues while getting it working with a selfhosted matrix server. After setting up dendrite (matrix server) and sliding-sync server (asynchronous message history syncing; which it requires) I still wasn’t able to get past the initial sync screen. Are you hosting your own matrix server, did you use it with a public server, or have you not tried using it yet?
to use element I need to provide an email address. Do I also need to provide a valid phone number?
Check out jmp.chat for use with Cheogram (Conversations xmpp fork).
No, you don’t. Element is a client for Matrix and Matrix doesn’t use phone numbers.
