Verizon "Home Connect" service
We have the Verizon Home Connect service at our stick and brick house. This trip we took the base for the phone along and the router for the Verizon service. Works a treat. Both run off a small invert...

is a cellular system for the home
you can use any residential phone even cordless base,
what you can't do, is stick in your pocket and go out to dinner
it replaces a landline, and you can use in the RV, even when you change locations
it will not replace the cellphone you carry when you leave home
and goto the mall the swap meet, or out to dinner
True, it is not a portable cell phone you can carry in your pocket. Hence we do also have a prepaid trac phone we carry for emergency contact. The DW mother is 92 and lives in New Zealand so the trac phone is always on and with us, and the folks there know the number.
We used the switch to Home Connect to drop the two phone lines into the house, one line for general use, one for dialup internet. Was costing $80 a month. Now we have dish hispeed, $50 a month at home, and $20 for the Home connect which we now can carry in the RV. Pretty easy decision.
We also use the Verizon Jetpack for mobile internet when traveling, $50 a month and suspend the service when not traveling. It gets signal where cell phones do not. Recently at a SD park, my friends both with the latest cell phones were gathered at our picnic table catching up on things using our jetpack wifi since they could not get a signal.
