There are VoIP providers that are incredibly cheap.

As an example, I have an account with voip.ms. They charge $0.85/month for the phone number, and then $0.009/minute. (E-911 service costs a little extra.)

It's worth it just for having proper 911 service at home. The improved voice quality over cellular is an added benefit.

I was an Ooma early adopter and am still grandfathered into their initial "all calls free" program. I enjoy the call quality as much as how much I haven't had to pay for phone calls over the 11+ years.

Note, I'm not including internet costs because I'd be getting that anyway.
