    Well, sort of. I’m now using Google Voice as a land-line.

    For portability I have a personal Hot-Spot and an old iPad that is NOT chipped for phones. I can use the iPad’s browser, with my Hot-Spot, to get to my Google Voice account.

    I can get voice and pictures and text but for the most part it’s at HOME.

      For portability I think I would use an older android phone loaded with your OS choice.

      The iPad and phone both have cameras anyway just the phone is lighter. Keep it no sim and in airplane mode

          Added plus of the cell phone is it can also still call 911 even without a sim as long as you take it off airplane.

          Or at least it should be able to, changing the OS could impact that
