Messenger lets you write to and call other iSwiss clients straight from the app. To find a person, their iSwiss username is enough: you don't need their phone number. Messages and calls are encrypted.

Call
In the conversation tap the red handset at the top right, or “Call” in the search results. The “Encrypted call” screen opens and shows “Ringing…” until the other person answers. The first time, the app asks for permission to use the microphone: allow it, otherwise they can't hear you.
