That said, for elderly folks or people with hearing issues, the voice quality is largely better than via cell phones, at least that's what my parents say. If they have to make an important call with a doc or anything else really important, they will ditch the phone/FaceTime/WhatsApp and use their "VoIP Landline", even though technically it goes all through same the Internet. So, don't discard the use case just because you are young and grew up with smartphone.

Community Reviews
Ooma Telo Air 2 is a simple home phone replacement that works well as a backup landline, especially for households that want multiple handsets and a familiar house phone setup. The service is described as reliable for long stretches, with clear calls, voicemail access through the device or app, and compatibility with existing cordless systems. It also appeals to people who want a low monthly bill, often around $7 to $9 plus taxes and fees. The main caveats are Wi Fi dependence, no battery backup, and occasional connection or pricing complaints. A practical fit if you want a traditional landline feel without the old phone bill.
Common Questions (5)
The service is typically about $6-$9 per month in taxes and fees, and some users report totals closer to $7.xx or about $8-$9 depending on the plan and ZIP code. Premier service can run about $9.99 plus taxes and fees, bringing the total to around $19 monthly.
Many users report years of stable service, including 15-20 year runs with clear calls and little downtime. A few also report failures or random connection problems, so reliability can depend on the unit and setup.
Yes. It can serve as a house phone replacement and work with existing multi-handset cordless systems, including older Panasonic and AT&T handset setups. It is useful when you want a shared home line across multiple rooms instead of relying only on cell phones.
It relies on Wi‑Fi availability and has no battery to charge, so it depends on your internet connection. When the line does not connect, calls can go to Ooma voicemail instead of ringing through.
Porting a number into Ooma costs about $40, and porting out is free. That makes it practical if you want to keep an old landline number but still want the option to leave later.

Would porting this "landline number" over to a Google Voice account and then installing Google Voice on an old unlocked phone and connecting the cell phone to our Panasonic phone system via bluetooth achieve what we are trying to do? Or are there any caveats we need to consider for using Google Voice for this landline and the Panasonic system? ...
Thanks in advance for any input,
