Here's some info on VOIP and the way I have it setup. You could do it different ways though.

 

First off you need a VOIP provider and a number, you can get both for free from

sipgate.co.uk - free phone service over your broadband link - voice over ip provider. They can normally give you a local number with your area code.

 

To get VOIP calls on your landline you can either have it set up through your router and have your phone connected to it or have a dedicated phone just for voip. You can see some examples here

Most modern routers can handle this but if yours is old or you don't have a router this part would cost a little.

 

To get VOIP to your Android phone you could use something like sipdroip

Some versions of Android even have it built in as stock.

 

Iphone will have similar apps but as I don't own an Iphone I can't confirm this.

 

 

If you have both your landline/router and your mobile both connected with your sipgate account they will both ring at once and you can answer either one. To make outgoing calls you could still use your old mobile/landline numbers but you could also dial out using your sipgate number but you would need call credit for that.

 

 

One issue you might have though is with the mobile side of it. If your in areas with bad data coverage it wont work so well and the calls may be choppy but that can be a problem with a regular mobile call anyway.

 

 

 

Sorry if I've went on a little and the links I've provided are just examples of what I've used myself, there are other ways to do it and other services that provide numbers.
