OK, I have been having a running problem with AT&T. See thread below. They have sent another letter to cut off her service and I am now going to move on.

There were suggestions about going to VOIP etc., but I have decided that my mom never uses the internet and I only pay her bills with it. So I do not want to pay for internet so I can do VOIP.
Now, I was thinking that I could get a cell phone plan and just use that as her home phone. I do not even need a cell phone as she would not know how to use it and she would never charge it anyhow.
So, does anybody know of a system that I can use that would use a cell phone plan but be a home phone?
Or if I do need to actually use a cell phone as a system that I can just leave it plugged into the wall and then have normal landline cordless phones she can use? IOW, hide the phone and everything works like a landline.
This will give her phone and it will also give me the ability to pay bills at her place... but, the internet is not important as I can pay from my house.
