Depending on your local bell packages, it may work to purchase a measured-rate landline for emergency use but use Vonage or other VOIP for normal use. We get measured rate lines for $6.37/mo ($15.95 after taxes(nice FCC charges, eh?)). That allows unlimited incoming with ~.05/min outgoing. Add VOIP for $15-25/mo and it's still cheaper than a standard landline with caller ID, call waiting, etc., if you need them.
