Yes, agreed (however, having my own phone as well as a work required business phone, I already have to carry 2 while at work LOL) Still, as I said in my first post, this was more about getting a cheap hobby phone as opposed to an "app" of any kind that requires you to use your data plan. Was curious about what the best option was under that rather limited scenario.

My home phone is also Google voice. A $30 obihai adapter is ask that's needed to make the house phone ring. When someone calls the house it rings the house and cell phone.
For hobby, i just use incognito window, anonymous vpn, and email based overseas for the hobby Google voice number.
