nostr:npub1en8nxprfk64w40rwfeeusp8wwlje5k6j8utf0rq8zvg3070regxqwskecl Several years ago, when my parents still had to have a "home phone", they were on Yak. It worked for the most part but as with all VOIP services, can sometimes be unstable.
Heard good things about TekSavvy's VOIP service but never tried it before.
Fido offers a Home Phone service which is pretty much the phone adapter connects to the LTE network to provide home phone service. It's pricier (@ $20/month) than VOIP but should be more stable.
Hope this helps!

In that case, 1 option is Fongo Home Phone service, it's $4.95/month + tax. I've only used Fongo's free call app before, it's decent.

Another option is Ooma, they offer free* phone service: https://www.ooma.ca/home-phone-service/
*Free apparently comes w/ 911 fees, "regulatory fees" + tax
Please keep in mind, unlike traditional phone lines, VOIP services don't come w/ E911. Callers must tell operators the address. Ooma does but only to the registered address.
