Why not just port it to Verizon home phone or AT&T? They sell cellular base stations that provide land-line service with regular RJ-11 jacks. Caller ID, unlimited long distance all included for $24.99 plus some taxes. Call it $30 all-in for a land-line replacement on their cell networks. Call quality is great and runs as VOLTE.
