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.


but you're not in the UK

Thats available there too.

1GB of data? cripes I'd get through that in a day...thats not even one HD
movie downloaded from Iplayter..

Only a fool does that on their mobile service.

And 4G isnt a huge amount better than my 6Mbps.

Wrong, as always.

And it doesnt come with a very important fixed IP addess either.

Doesnt need to when you have a broadband service at home.
