I recommend you Ejabberd + Asmack.

You can instal ejabberdin your server easily in Linux, check this. Ejabberd is based in XMPP protocol (the same used by whatsapp (I don't know if they still use it, but at least is based on XMPP).

Then for your mobilephones there is a library (Asmack, check here)

There are lots of sample codes of using this library that will help you to set up your chat application.

You will have to register your users in your server in order to be able to log in the system.

Some extra helful links:

Hope it helps
