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.
