If you like using wired telephones but don't want to pay landline rates, you have a few options: - Use an analog telephony adapter (ATA) to connect your telephone to a SIP VoIP service. There are plenty of providers, and service is dirt cheap. - Get a telephone with something like Link2Cell, and connect it to your cellphone via Bluetooth. You can now use the telephone to make calls through your cellphone. - Similarly, if you don't want to buy a new telephone, get an adapter like an XLink BT, which lets you do the same thing using your existing telephone. - Use a fixed wireless terminal (FWT) to connect your telephone to cellular service directly. The FWT will accept a SIM card. (This might not be an option anymore though, since these tend to operate on GSM networks.)
