Took my first step towards lowering my work phone bill to almost nothing per month... 
About 6 years ago, I moved my work landline phone over to a VoIP provider giving me big savings over a standard phone line ( and bill ). ( first 2 years were only about $150 ). Later, I also dropped my home landline switching over to using just my mobile number for my home phone. I also got a bluetooth adapter that I could use my standard cordless phones with at home. I had one problem, the cell service at my house is a little weak sometimes causing a bit of static on the connection ( I'm in a bit of a depression where I live which limits cell and TV reception some ). Since I also have a Google Voice phone number ( a free service that acts like VoIP ) I got a VoIP adapter that also supports GVoice made by Obitalk ( I got the Obi200 ) and now my home phone sounds clear. GVoice works over the internet... so you must have a decent internet connection still.
FF to yesterday.... GVoice is free as long as you have an internet connection. They can also import ( port ) your phone number but only if that number is coming in from a cellular provider... landline and VoIP number can't be ported, at least directly. My work VoIP was coming due to be re-upped... so instead of paying for another couple of years of service... I decided to move ( port ) my work phone number over to a cell phone provider. I ordered another Moto E smartphone from Sprint ( on special for $30 currently, like the one I got for the ex-GF and she later paid me back for ). Instead of getting a new phone number for work ( since all of my clients have my current number as do my business cards and website etc ), I had Sprint port my work phone number. I still had to also purchase a cell plan for $35 ( unlimited talk/text and 1Gb data ) plus the cost of the smartphone.
Later... I'll purchase another Obi200 for around $50 for work.... then I'll port my cell work number over to GVoice for another $20. Since GVoice doesn't support E911 calls... I'll subscribe to a provider that provides that for around $1 a month. In the end... the one time cost to move everything to GVoice will be around $135 in hardware and service charges. After that... I'll only be paying for the E911 service at about $12 a year. The Obi200's support up to 4 lines of service ( VoIP and/or GVoice ).... so I'll be able to answer or call from any phone at my work and home just as if each was an extention in the same location.
I'll still have to keep my personal cell phone service but I won't need the prepaid phone after all of the porting is finished. I also still must have an internet connection at both my work and home, but I'd need those for other reasons anyway. Since the smartphone I got for the move is also the same model as the one my ex-GF got... it can later serve as a replacement for her if she ends up needing it ( and she doesn't make me mad of course ). I could have saved just a little bit and got a prepaid flip phone for around $20... but the extra wasn't much for the value of having a potential replacement.

Just in case you haven't been Moon'd lately...
The full Moon isn't until Monday night... It will be the largest we've seen since 1948 and won't be this large again until 2034.
