I just ordered a landline last week for precisely the same reason...local loop only since all the conf calls I'm on have a toll-free # so it's about $20/month.

I did kinda like the idea of having an actual hardware phone with handset and good quality speaker phone. I have a hard time on cell phone even with a nice headset - especially for long conference calls. But these are a great suggestion.

I have one from Sprint. Works great.

Network extender for your cell carrier and create your own cell tower in your basement with it. Just be aware that it will be a 'public' cell tower, last I looked you cannot limit who can use it. I think it is a 911 issue......

You read that right. So... Thought I'd build a nice new home office in the basement. After layers of new insulation, soundproofing, and drywall, my cell phone no longer works down there! Oops :-\ Considering how much I telecommute, I need to get some sort of landline installed. VOIP/SIP/Digital through Comcast, I'm considering it all. But, I'm not too well versed on the options avail. I still support an old PBX at our office, and built a SIP fax service/server, but my telco experience is pretty limited outside of that. I'd like to avoid Comcast (Personal reasons and I often cancel it and go through our Municipal WiFi). Any suggestions you guys have off the top of your head? A good service that sticks out that you would like to plug? Something that incorporated with Google Voice would be a plus... (Not sure anything does). I do use the new Sprint/Google Voice offering, so I can mask the new number with my Sprint number, and I can easily have my Sprint number ring the new number too. Thanks.
