Get an XLink BT (Bluetooth Gateway), then you can connect an analog phone to the cell phone and it will ring too. You can use an old traditional bell phone (Western Electric 500 series etc), or you can get a loud ringer w/flasher to plug into the gateway as well.

>is an analog phone the same as a landline?

Yes, you connect the landline (analog) phone to the BT gateway, which allows you to place and receive calls on the landline phone via the cell phone.

 

>will it still ring even though it's not "live"?

Yes, it will become an extension of the cell phone.

I leave the XLink close to the cell phone, and have wired it into my house wiring. Disconnect the line from the DMARC to the street, then plug the XLink into an existing phone jack, and the remaining jacks will become active (unless wired weird).

 

Another option is to use a cordless landline phone again leaving the XLink near the cell phone.

 

In both cases the cell phone should be left near a window or a place where it gets good reception.

I'm not understanding how you're getting to the edge of the range if the cell phone and XLink are stationary and remain next to each other.

 

If the cell phone is with a person moving around, then that makes sense, but if the cell phone is left next to the gateway, it shouldn't ever go out of range.

Massive govt grants are being were handed out to take down copper, and replace it with fiber. Landlines will still be available, but not in the traditional sense. Fiber to copper adapter will be installed in the home, making it work like a landline. The only difference being that it requires power, so it won't survive a power outage unless it's on a battery backup.

True. Finding an independent VoIP provider will generally save you a lot of money over using the local telco's flavor of VoIP. An ATA can be gotten on Amazon for a little over $30 which will allow you to connect to the provider of your choice.
