Goosey:

Interesting, slight hijack question…

“Am I able to simply get myself an IP phone, plug into my existing network / ISP (OneNZ, or any other ISP), and then subscribe to the $4 a month voip plan, porting my existing number”?

Most likely. Have a look at the Hero setup guides.

That’s exactly what I did, using a grand stream ATA to connect the legacy phones. After an initial snag where my ISP cut off my whole connection instead of just transferring the voice line, it has worked faultlessly

What's the number range Hero use if you don't port in a local landline number? Couldn't find them on NAD Number Register.

Edit: Looks to possibly be geographic numbers listed as "Blue Reach" and they don't offer free local calling within NZ it's either Landline Calls (2c+GST) or Mobile Calls (8c+GST).

We took a different approach, porting our landline to the Hero app on a mobile phone using an old S10 as it can sit in wireless charging cradle.

A slight drawback was an update to the app over Christmas which required Android 14 which the S10 can't do. But Hero suggested the Secure VOIP app and this works fine.

Cheap 'landline' ($4+GST per month) and very cheap overseas calling.
