    I use a SIP provider for the landline at home. When on vacation I want to be able to make outbound calls with my landline number. I know this can be done, but I have no idea how. Does anyone here have some pointers for required hardware, software and configuration?

      Just use a sip phone app on your mobile. I use Linphone but there are lots of them.

        I do this with avm fritz box, it can take the physical line and act as a sip server on the lan. I connect via the integrated wireguard VPN and use portsip app for make phone calls

          My problem has always been finding a SIP company I wanted to give my money to, for providing a land line #. For a glorious, brief, period, I was able to do this through Google Voice. But then they got rid of that feature, and I haven't found another provider who I like the looks of.

            Check with your provider for SIP server, username and password, and if they have a suggested app (even if you don’t want to use it, it means they have some kind of support). It’s probably in their support pages somewhere.

              If you only want to make calls, any betamax/dellmont VoIP provider allows you to spoof your number after a otp code verification

                I think if you use a SIP provider, they'll have an app or a description on their website how to connect with third-party software. Just install it on a device you take with you, and configure it as per their descriptiom. Examples for Android SIP softphones are Linphone and Baresip.

                Other options: you have a AVM Fritzbox at home and install their app. Or you set up an entire PBX like Asterisk or FreePBX or one of the other ones. That's rather complex and involved.

                  For anyone that needs a guide. Should work for most providers with some configuration changes.

                    similarly looking for sip companies, specifically with less discrimination against the 49th state.

                      I use this.

                      I have Ms VoIP as my provider. $1 month per line and 1 cent per min.

                      I have a grand stream sip adapter... Configured with my providers info and my creds. Phone can plug into it. Works just fine. Plus you can use any sip client to connect to the same line from mobile or PC.

                      Also, my old house had pots lines in every room. I took my grand stream and wired it into the house, not a phone. So I can plug regular phones into any of the original outlets and it works as it directly connected to the grand stream. I have 4 regular phones all running over original wires into the grandstream using sip

                        You might need to set a STUN server or similar, in settings.

                          I never considered that Alaska might be less serviced than other states, given how removed it is. It's no Hawaii, but still.

                            Does that let you have a voicemail?

                            I've long wanted a cheap way to setup a phone, when rung, picks up and plays a message telling the caller to email me. But everything I found for this is wayy more expensive than $12/yr

                                      You can install Linphone from the Fdroid repository, and register it with your SIP provider as an extension. How you set it up as an extension will vary by the provider.
