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.

since then and they still both work. I have an old one, which uses ethernet connection. So, 30 years of service for $400.
Anyway, for that reason we are looking to keep the number that's been in the family for over 30 years and looking for best and most inexpensive option for the occasional incoming call.
Curious how Google Voice could be used in this scenario? We have a Panasonic multi-unit "landline" phone system that is currently connected to the Spectrum VoIP gateway/modem. This Panasonic unit also has a feature to connect via bluetooth to a cell phone.
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? Edit: On bit further research, looks like to port the landline number to Google Voice, we might have to temporarily port over from Spectrum to an intermediary cell phone/MVNO before finally porting over from the cell phone to Google Voice? Still trying to sort the steps out.
Thanks in advance for any input,

They charge $7.xx for basic service.
