Just go with landline; I'm keeping mine until they pry it from my cold, dead hands.

 

Any reason why you NEED VoIP?

I cancelled my first-time Uverse installation because of the RG back-up battery limitations.  I have been informed by three (3) different AT&T technical staff that the battery back-up lasts for only four (4) hours after a power outage.

 

For the benefit of those who posted above, we had a power outage and the Belkin light grey BBU was still powering the phone and internet after 6-1/2 hours, using our laptops for internet.

 

For longer capacity, I found barely used Belkin BBUs on Ebay for around $20 and now keep them charge up also.
