You know nothing compels you to get your phone from your internet

$14.99/month, plus $25 every three if you want a number that people
can call. Google has something similar.

That is an expensive option unless you make a *lot* of calls, there
are providers where you pay for all calls but the rate to most places is
under a cent per minute.
