Hello all, since BT and others moved everyone to digial voice the whole process of connecting phones to their Hub has been less than ideal, you're not only stuck using their Hubs but sometimes they refuse to even connect at times (Looking at you EE Smart Hub Plus), and connection quality can sometimes drop.
I don't personally use the landline only the internet, but my nan refuses to buy a moblie phone and preferably to keep her landine number. I'm looking for the best solution to moving the number over to a seperate provider not attached to our internet provider. I've never set up a VoIP phone before so any advice would be nice.
Requirements: She has 1 phone in the living room and 1 phone in bedroom, the router is located in another room.

- If we joined a VoIP provider could we just buy 2 phone units and use any router to wirelessly connect to the phones like the BT/EE Hubs or would there have to be a main phone unit next to the router plugged in by ethernet, and then have the other 2 phones located in the living room/bedroom connected to the mian phone unit wirelessly
- Is it possible to buy a SIM only monthly contract and plug the SIM into a landline type phone on a dock that you can connect 1 other phone too? (Looks and feels like a landline phone but connects to SIM network)
