I went with Straight Talk Home Phone a couple of years ago.  It's just a cell phone receiver that you connect a regular phone to.  Have had very few problems with it.  I keep a landline for my mother to call and her life line calls it in case she needs help.  Seems like the device was about $80 and the monthly fee is $15 plus tax which makes it about $16.  It has local and nationwide calling with caller ID.  Sure beats paying my old $40 phone bill.  The only draw back is my number is no longer published in the local directory and I'm not sure if that is a drawback.
