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?

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.

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.

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'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
