We do not use our home phone at all. Probably going to to shut it off. We have fiber to the house and use VOIP for our business. No we can't port our home phone number to a VOIP system either.

Now comes the tough one, cutting Dish. For the most part, I am fine with fewer cable channels. I only watch a few channels, mostly sports and news. Between the internet, Roku with Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu and OTA Antenna we should be able to get by. When football season rolls around, that is when I will feel the most pain. Not sure how I can watch the teams that I enjoy following without cable.

One concern is that I haven't tested the OTA Antenna yet. We live well out in the country and the transmitters for the channels in which I am most interested are 30-70 miles away according to TVFool.com. Not sure what to expect as far as OTA reception.

Any other thoughts or ideas?

I was able to port my home phone number over to my VOIP service provider (RingCentral) no problem.

Good to know. I tried a couple of others and they said I couldnt because my number wasn't eligible. I have since found a way.

Thanks for the feedback. I am going to explore those options.

I also had an another idea. I do not really need the actual phone but I do want to keep my home number active. Therefore, based on the video DocV shared, I may investigate just porting my home number to a burner prepaid phone.

Also, it is primarily college football games that I am most interested in seeing.
