We have this rogers wireless home phone thing that has a little router, that connects through the cell phone network and not a cable from the wall. But you can use any type of home phone with it and it obviously has its own number. The benefit is that you can take this little router and your home phone with you when you travel, we took it camping and just plugged in the router so we had an emergency line available for the kids.

We paid $10 originally for like the first 6 months, but pay $20 now, I am sure I could call and get that reduced. But even for $20 a month, it is worth it. Our kids don't have cell phones so having this as an option is huge for emergencies and great for long distance calls if you don't have a good plan on your phone.
