Hi!

I’m looking to replace my family’s landline phone with a VoIP based hardphone. From my research it seems that I’d need a SIP server and a SIP Trunk provider. But I also happened to find Jami that has a SIP account feature.

1. Could I make and recieve calls with Jami over the hardphone similar to a landline phone (minus the ability to call and recieve calls from normal phone numbers) with this setup (SIP server + Jami + hardphone)?
2. Does anyone have experience setting up a similar system?
3. Am I overcomplicating things and a used smartphone turned into a softphone would be a better choice?

I’ve just recently begun my selfhosting journey so I’m not very well versed in networking, but I am willing to put in the time and effort to learn. So any (constructive) feedback/guidance is greatly appreciated!

EDIT: The solution for me it seems is to just buy a used Android smartphone and connect it to a bluetooth handset. Thanks everyone :)
