"To jump in here about other services, I think a service like US MOBILE's home phone line [0] makes the most sense in this sort of situation. It's $10/month (if payed lump sump annually, $12.99/month otherwise). You do have to pay for their hardware though at about $90 one time fee [1]. IMHO having this as a redundant service (i.e not dependent on the same physical layer as the home internet) makes the most sense if one needs a phone line."
Hey, thanks for sharing this! That's not a bad deal, but also I'm going to tell a friend of mine about it who's always having problems and complaining about his cell service in his house. This might not work any better for him, but it's worth a try. I generally despise talking on my cell phone and I'd rather have a home phone and just use my cell phone as a mobile internet device, which is how I mostly use it anyway.
