Hey all,

I wanted to know if it is conceivably possible (or even if there is hardware out there) to make use of my home analog phone line from my iPhone across my home (WiFi) network?

Ideally when the land line rang the iPhone would also ring, and when i dialed out from the iPhone when connected to the home WiFi network it would dial out via the land line. I do understand that you would probably need to be running a soft-phone of some sort on the iPhone.

I've done a bit of searching on the internet and am starting to get a bit overloaded with all the VoIP related technology (ATA's, pbx's and such)

An explanation of this would all slot together would be great if it is possible.

Cheers

Paul

The simplest and easiest solution is to buy a Fritz!box. You get an ADSL2+/VDSL2 modem with dual band WiFi, a VoIP gateway for integration with a SIP provider and your POTS line. The softphone application offers fully automated setup while connected to the WiFi.

And to answer your next question you're probably going to ask "whether there is anything cheaper because the Fritz!box is too expensive".. The answer to that is nothing that I'd recommend that will work well. If you want a rock solid solution this is the best one.
