I use a SIP provider for the landline at home. When on vacation I want to be able to make outbound calls with my landline number. I know this can be done, but I have no idea how. Does anyone here have some pointers for required hardware, software and configuration?

Just use a sip phone app on your mobile. I use Linphone but there are lots of them.

My problem has always been finding a SIP company I wanted to give my money to, for providing a land line #. For a glorious, brief, period, I was able to do this through Google Voice. But then they got rid of that feature, and I haven't found another provider who I like the looks of.

I replied to another person in this thread, but I've used voip.ms for well over a decade for a few different businesses and personal use, and they've always been responsive and responsible.
