Been without a land line for two years. Take the money you will save and send it to me. Just use your cell phones.

My concern w/ these home-base cellulars vs a landline is talk quality.

When I use a cell ph and talk to another cell ph user, there are all sorts of interruptions when both try and talk at once. Normal conversation is hampered.

When at least one is a landline, it is not quite as bad.

Maybe MJ or similar VOIPs are clearer ?

OTOH, I also wonder if the cell reception indoors with units like the OP mentions isn’t radically superior to a regular mobile phone because of it being amplified w/ big power from elec line.

I have an AT&T wireless home phone. It works so much better than the noisy land line, can be taken with you to have home phone service anywhere you go, and it cost half the cost of the land line. Go for it.

We switched to the Verizon cellular home phone to save money, and found a second benefit by accident.

We are usually in our RV about 6 months a year. Now, we carry our Verizon home phone with us, and almost everywhere we are (Verizon has very good coverage), we can answer calls to our home and the caller has no idea that we aren't really in our sticks and bricks.

I've had the Verizon Home Phone Connect for a couple years and am happy with it. It is cellular, so its completely dependent on your specific location for service quality. I got it because I have 3 stix & bricks in 3 diff states and it allows me to take it with me from house to house, keep the same number and use existing inside phone wiring outlets & extensions.
Be aware it does have some limitations as a landline replacement. it wont work with some home alarm sys, or medic alert sys, or as a fax machine line, etc..
I'm often asked why I need it, if I have a cell phone already. Well its more personal preference.

We have used the Verizon home connect system for 2 years now and love it. Our cells would not in the basement. With the system you just plug it into your present home wired phone lines and you can use all the jacks for any type of phone, portable or other. The system has a dial tone so you can use an auto dialer like a security system or temp alarm.

We have the Verizon Wireless Home Phone service and love it. Our bill from AT@T for traditional home was running us $45.00 a month now its $20. It works of the Verizon cellular network. As long as you get a signal from the cell tower it will work. Callers cannot tell your are not on a landline. You can also take it with you in your RV. Great product.

I don't think he is referring to VoIP. Verzion has a home connect service which allows whole home phone service using a cellular connection.
