With unlimited mobile-mobile calls these day one would almost think of doing the reverse by bridging a second cell phone with a land line to achieve unlimited cell phone minutes on the cheap. Using VoIP it becomes even more doable. I like this idea since you could have lowest possible service

I've been thinking about ditching verizion telephone service and just adding a cell line with the home number. It would be nice if I could integrate two 900 MHz telephones for use since the cell is small and does not make a loud enough ring to here throughout the house. Anybody have experience

You can subscribe to low-cost/no-frills landline service to qualify for DSL. In my area (northern CA) measured rate local service is only about $8 per month. That way you can still use fax, use dial-up when broadband is down, plus have the advantage of better 9-1-1 service. Gary VanderMolen

The other problem is convincing my wife to not use the land phone. Personally I'd get rid of all of my phones and move to the country but that's not practical. Gary VanderMolen wrote: You can subscribe to low-cost/no-frills landline service to qualify for DSL. In my area (northern CA)

Well, if you like Linux, and you can get a bluetooth phone (check supported list), you could setup an Asterisk server with Bluetooth, and pair the phone up, and take incoming calls via the cell phone, and even record voice mail, or forward them out via an ITSP to another phone, etc. Another
