The device you need is called a Cell Phone:-))

If you're going to make up a different question to the one I asked and
answer the made-up question instead of mine, then why bother posting
in this thread at all? Also, your answer was not helpful in any way, I
am still looking for an answer which is.

Lighten up.

The forum is all about offering alternatives that the OP may not have
thought of. If a poster asks about a way to carry 4 x 8 sheet goods
home when all he owns is a VW, it perfectly acceptable to suggest that
he cut them down to smaller sizes in the parking lot. It didn't really
answer the question asked, but it may just solve the OP problem.

First off, if you are strictly talking about voice services in a
residentail setting, then a cell phone could certainly be a viable
option. If not, then the solution won't work for you, but there is no
need to slam the person who suggested it.

Second, why don't you call the phone company in question and ask them?
What the phone company in New Zealand allows might not be "accetpable"
in Rhode Island. Any answers you get in this forum will need to be
verified with your local TelCo anyway.
