I'm not 100% sure if you're asking for a recommendation or just venting, but if it's the former, I'll suggest ClearlyIP as a VOIP provider. You can bring your own VOIP handset, or use an analog terminal adapter (ATA) to make an analog line if that's what you need. They include voice mail and a mobile phone app that would allow someone to use the number from anywhere (such as to return calls without disclosing a personal cell number via caller ID). I use ClearlyIP with Polycom handsets, as well as with analog adapters for the cases where that makes sense. There are lots of others out there, but I have had good results with them. they also were some of the original minds behind FreePBX, the most widely deployed FOSS phone system, running in Linux with Asterisk for call management. If you have or want to install a FreePBX, they can help with that as well.
