Ditch the landline? What are the options?

we still maintain a home phone number (not a land line) that I use for interactions with businesses or organizations that might call me, but that are not anything that needs to be urgently answered. I like to reserve my cell phone for important calls - I don’t want it constantly buzzing at work when the call either doesn’t require response or the response can wait till the next day. I purchased service through NetTalk - was able to keep my same home phone number, costs me $30/year, small device that plugs into my router (you can get wifi ones now). I also have any messages that are left sent to my email, so I can easily check a message during the day if it does seem important.

It’s also handy when H is the only one home and either let his cell battery drain or left the phone at work :))
