[Electronics-Talk] home phone on cell signal

[Brad Hodges]

Bryan and all:

I know that both AT&T as well as Sprint offer the service and equipment 
I think you are looking for. The last time I checked, for about $10 
monthly you could get a small box, which resembles a cable modem. It 
interfaces between the cellular network and a conventional land line phone.

I have auditioned both AT&T and sprint, in the store, to check the 
service. I found the quality to be marginal at best. You might want to 
consider Ooma, for a relatively inexpensive land line alternative. I can 
also recommend Voipo as a VOIP carrier.
