What phone would that be? The OP is taking about home phone VOIP, all such service I am familiar with use any ordinary phones and a VOIP hardware box. Some are doing it with Google Voice as the service together with a generic VOIP box. AFAIK, that's not the primary function or marketing of Google Voice, but some people are using it that way. GV, as I understand it, is a call forwarding system where your GV number in the cloud can be redirected to other numbers, following rules. Some are using that together with a generic VOIP box. I would not recommend it as a VOIP solution for the OP, as it's a roll your own solution, while Spectrum, Ooma, etc are fully supported.
