Any recommendations as to phone and source please?

IMO its time to give up on line phones, essentially because
its so easy to get an unlimited mobile phone service with free unlimited
calls and texts and MMS to any landline or mobile in the country for
something like $10/month and
so you have an integrated set of contacts and call history
for much cheaper than a landline service now.
That is true Rod, but you still need a landline for the internet.

Not *strictly* true.

Satellite/3G/4G all *work*. Just not very well and rather expensively.

Nothing expensive about a $10/month 4G service that
gives you unlimited calls and texts and MMSs to any
landline and mobile in the country and 1GB of data
and works much better than a landline too.

The only way I can get a reliable mobile phone service at home is to use a
nano-cell fed off my landline. We are round a tree-covered hill from the
base station
