I was at a Verizon Store and was ask about my home phone. I was quoted a wireless home phone for $20. a month with unlimited long distance.I was told that I could take it on vacation and have my home number with me.Also told the device has an 8 hour backup battery.Reading the comments a lady said she talked to her daughter for 2 hours while driving on the road traveling.Does anyone have this service and is it really this convenient?

Don't have it but looked at it myself. As long as you have a wireless signal it will work. It can be plugged into any power outlet. For me, I had to put a Verizon home cell tower in. Connects to cable modem and gps and pumps up my wireless signal.Looking to switch to it shortly.

It is that convenient. We couldn't use it while moving because the base to our cordless phone has to be plugged in, but it worked great in the trailer. We used it in 10 states this summer. The only drawback to having your home phone with you is that telemarketers and other people you don't want to talk to can find you.

We added our home phone to our wireless plan (Verizon) a couple of years ago.The cost is $10.00 per month and we share the minutes with our other wireless phones. We have been all over the country and take the home phone with us. It works as advertised. Just buy the cordless phone you want from the store and get the battery that will give you the most battery life. plug in at night or into an inverter when on the road. Verizon is a good service for staying connected. My DW often chats for an hour or longer going down the road.

We have it - not with Verizon, but with Straighttalk. $15/month and yes, it is portable. (Straighttalk uses Verizon service in our area, so as long as we have a Verizon tower, we have home phone service). It works off cell signal. As long as you have cell service, you have home phone service and it can go anywhere. We camp host in VA as well as MD state parks and we take our box with us. When we get set up, we plug it in and answer our phone, just like we were at our house. We have never used it while moving down the road because our base must have power. We have our cell phones, so don't really need it.We get caller id with ours, no extra charge.
