We use an Obihai 200 VOIP device with a Google Voice number for a home
phone. No monthly fee (not even the "required" taxes that Ooma and
others make you pay!), free long distance in the US and Canada,
voicemail, etc. Google Voice also has a lot of filtering/forwarding
features that are nice once you figure out how to configure them. If
you want/need E911 service on the home phone, it can be added for
$25/year (via Anveo) - I opted to add that and it works.
 
BTW, we tried an Ooma a while back (before the Obihai), but it did not
work very well for us. (In defense of Ooma, it turned out it was the
ISP. We have new, better internet service since then.) So we donated
the Ooma to the local community library so they could dump their
expensive Century Link landline. They are happy with it.
 
Just another option.

Whatever works! When AT&T got up to ~$30/month for ONLY local service
(no need for LD and still don't) we were really glad to find the Ooma.
$4.xx/month is reasonable.
 
If you get enough telemarketer calls to be annoying, check out the
Sentry 2. Blessed silence...
