Party (voice) chat without using PS4?

I'm very noob on consoles... basically I have friends who play games on PS4 I can cross-play with on PC, that part is not a problem. At the moment I'd have to fire up the PS4 just to voice chat with them. Is there another way to do that without the PS4? I found a Playstation mobile app that seems useless. Anything else I'm missing?

 

They don't want to use other PC/mobile apps like discord.

Main system: i9-7980XE, Asus X299 TUF mark 2, Noctua D15, Corsair Vengeance Pro 3200 3x 16GB 2R, RTX 3070, NZXT E850, GameMax Abyss, Samsung 980 Pro 2TB, Acer Predator XB241YU 24" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync + HP LP2475w 24" 1200p 60Hz wide gamut
Gaming laptop: Lenovo Legion 5, 5800H, RTX 3070, Kingston DDR4 3200C22 2x16GB 2Rx8, Kingston Fury Renegade 1TB + Crucial P1 1TB SSD, 165 Hz IPS 1080p G-Sync Compatible

Not that this helps you, but this was why I kept my PS Vita. I used it for VC.

Hmm... would that apply to a PSP too? :D Or are Vitas cheap enough to get one now just for that use?

Actually, looks like they are killing off access to server for the Vita in August.

What a bummer.

Then you can only get another Playstation.

I don't know if you can talk to PS4 Players with a PS3 but it doesn't seem that way....

The point was on having something more convenient to use than a PS4. A PS3 doesn't fit that even if it works.

 

Anyway, I guess my searching wasn't failed, there just isn't another way...

No because Sony dropped PSN support for the PSP awhile back.

A used Vita is more expensive than a PS4.


So get a new PS4...
