Why a home phone with a SIM?
Where landlines are moving to internet calling, a home phone plugs into the router instead of the wall, so it only works while the router does. A phone with a SIM doesn't need one, so it suits homes without broadband, and people who want a phone that isn't tied to the router.
It still needs to make calls on your network, which now usually means over 4G. Pick your network above and we'll only show phones we've confirmed.
