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 Wi Fi based home phone setup that works well as a simple landline replacement, especially for households that want multiple handsets, intercom use, and a reliable backup for calls around the house. The service is described as clear and dependable, with long term use, mobile app voicemail access, and compatibility with existing cordless systems. It does depend on Wi Fi and has no battery backup, and monthly fees and taxes can add up beyond the advertised low base price. It fits best when you want a traditional house phone without the old landline bill.
The Telo Air 2 can work well for outgoing calls when Wi‑Fi is available, including use from a cabin location.
The service can support mobile-device calling, which helps when you want flexibility beyond a fixed home handset.
The system can provide clearer voice quality than cell phones for elderly or hearing-impaired users.
Voicemail notifications can still arrive on a cell phone even when the hub message light stops working.
The setup relies on Wi‑Fi availability and lacks a battery for charging, which can limit use during power or connectivity issues.
The service may not include SMS support, so it cannot replace texting features some users expect.
Ooma's monthly cost can be higher than the advertised $0 service charge because taxes and fees can bring typical charges to about $6-$9 per month.
The value can be questionable for some households because Ooma can cost around $10 per month plus additional fees for premium service.

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,
