1. We do want to keep a "landline" since it's easier (for us) than cell phones for business conversations. What other VoIP options are available?
VOIP is pretty cheap these days. You likely are on VOIP and are just comparing options.
You need a voip device that can convert the voip to your home phones:
OBI Talk - VOIP device
Then you need voip service from someone. Many people port (transfer) their home phone to google voice and use that which is generally free but some calls may have a charge. I like Call Centric as a voip provider. You can pick a voice package that meets your usage. I've used them for a couple of years on the pay-per-call plan.
It's funny that the pay-per-call plans can actually be cheaper than the all-you-can-eat plans because of cell phone usage. (Remember back when we always paid per call for long distance?)
