Best Internet and Home Phone Bundles of 2025: Get a Landline or VoIP With Your Wi-Fi

Our take: If you want a home phone but only want to spend a little, you can add Spectrum Voice home phone to any Spectrum Internet plan for just $15 a month, guaranteed for three years.

Spectrum Internet is one of the most popular cable internet providers, and for good reason: It offers fast yet affordable plans. While Spectrum Internet prices go up quickly, the three-year Spectrum Voice price lock means that when your Spectrum Internet plan experiences a price hike, your Spectrum Voice plan won't.

If you plan to make international calls with Spectrum Voice, you can call several countries and U.S. territories for free. Otherwise, be prepared to pay anywhere from $0.02 to $2.18 per minute—or add an International Calling Plan for a monthly $5 fee.

The VoIP Spectrum Voice service also includes natty features like call forwarding and readable voicemails. In short, it’s not your grandparents’ home phone. Read our Spectrum Internet review.

Yes, Spectrum Voice has a long-distance home phone plan for folks who frequently make international calls. It’s called the Spectrum International Calling Plan, and it gives you 70 additional free-to-call countries for just $5 more a month.

Spectrum voice requires phone wires, phones, wall jacks/Ethernet ports, and a phone modem. If you don't already have the wires, phones, and ports, you may need to pre-buy them. Otherwise, you're all set—Spectrum provides the modem.

No, Spectrum Voice isn’t available without Spectrum Internet. You can’t use it with Google Fiber or another internet provider. You also can’t use it without internet service—its VoIP setup requires an internet connection.

Our take: Love the idea of bringing back your home phone but hate being unable to take calls anywhere? Cox has the perfect solution to enjoy the best of both worlds.

Cox Internet is a mid-priced provider gaining traction as it grows its fiber network. Its home phone service, Cox Voice, includes a Simultaneous Ring feature that lets you answer the home line from your cell. You just have to add the phone to your internet plan for $20 monthly (or purchase it independently at the same price).

Cox residential phone service includes free calls to Canada and Mexico. Its international calling fees are cheap, too, ranging from $0.06 to $1.52 a minute. However, Cox's satellite calling fees—which callers incur if, for instance, they call a cruise ship during an emergency—are more expensive than those of other home phone providers: $11.25 a minute.

If you plan to call out of the country a lot, you can avoid the per-minute fees by paying $2.99 a month for the Cox Simply Worldwide plan. That's truly a bargain! Read our Cox Internet review.

Yes, Cox Voice has the Cox Simply Worldwide plan, which allows you to make international calls for just $2.99 a month.

Cox provides self-setup manuals for all of its Voice equipment. To find your equipment, use the table to match it with the right manual PDF.

Yes, a Cox home phone requires internet access, but you don't have to sign up for a whole internet plan to use it. According to a Cox chat agent I spoke with, the equipment setup used for the Cox Voice VoIP line already has sufficient internet service built in.

Our take: If you have kids or roommates who are certified Chatty Cathies but don't have cell phones, add Optimum Phone to any Optimum Internet plan for a perfect multiline home phone system.

Optimum Internet is an affordable small provider with unbelievably fast speeds. When you sign up for Optimum Phone to go with your internet service, you can have up to four phone lines. That's one for the kitchen, one for your room, one for the den downstairs, and one for the room of whichever child got the Juno hamburger phone for their birthday. The main line costs $25 a month, but each additional line is only $14.95.

Optimum Phone comes with free calls to Canada, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands (unless you're in Hendersonville or West Jefferson, North Carolina, for some reason). If you plan to call elsewhere, that costs $0.02 to $2.79 per minute.

To seal the deal, Optimum has some extra benefits, like the ability to check your voicemail online and or make unlimited 411 calls. (Those calls are useful if you're like me and can only remember five phone numbers since getting a cell.) Read our Optimum Internet review.

Optimum Phone does not currently offer a long-distance home phone plan. However, Optimum Voice offers Optimum Voice World Call. For $19.95 a month, this plan provides 250 international calling minutes to Optimum Voice customers.

Optimum Phone is a VoIP home phone service. It uses an Optimum Internet plan, so you need an internet connection for it to work.

No, Optimum isn’t owned by T-Mobile. However, Optimum Mobile (née Altice Mobile) uses the T-Mobile cellular network.

Our take: Fiber internet is faster and more cost-effective than other types, so if you prefer that option, try Verizon Fios Internet with Fios Home Phone.

Verizon Fios is a top fiber internet provider with fantastic speed and reliability. For just $30 more monthly, you can add VoIP service Fios Home Phone to your 300 Mbps, 500 Mbps, or 1 Gig internet plan. (You can also get Fios Home Phone with Verizon 5G Home Internet if you're so inclined.)

The service includes some nice features like spam blocking and call waiting. And you can use any home phone, corded or cordless, with Fios Home Phone—so this might be a good time to drag out that vintage 70s phone you saved from your grandma’s house. Read our Verizon Fios review.

Fios Home Phone international calling fees cost between $0.02 and $2.51 per minute, depending on the country you call. (And calling at sea during an emergency costs as much as $9.71 per minute.) If you plan to make a lot of long-distance calls, you can also sign up for a World Plan.

Yes, Fios Home Phone has two long-distance home phone plans: The World 300 and the World 500. The World 300 plan includes 300 minutes to 120 countries, while the World 500 plan includes 500 minutes. Verizon apparently doesn't disclose the cost of these plans to non-customers despite my best attempts to wheedle the information out of a chat agent.

The name is the main difference between Fios Home Phone and Fios Digital Voice. Verizon’s VoIP service used to be called Fios Digital Voice but is now called Fios Home Phone.

Not exactly. Verizon no longer sells traditional copper landlines but still sells home phone service through VoIP. VoIP phones are different from traditional landlines on the technical side but perform nearly all the same functions.

Our take: Most internet and phone providers aren’t available everywhere—but Xfinity just about is with a footprint in 34 states and D.C. That makes Xfinity the optimal choice if you work for the military or otherwise move around often, or if you’re just a regular customer who happens to be in an Xfinity area.

Xfinity Internet isn’t just widely available: Its cable internet services are also decently fast and affordable for the average household. And for up to $30 a month (depending on location), you can get a VoIP Xfinity Voice Premier line to go with your Xfinity Internet. That includes extras like spam blocking, readable voicemail, and forwarding calls to your cell phone. You can also get Xfinity Voice without Xfinity Internet service if you prefer.

Xfinity Voice Premier includes unlimited calls to 87 countries and some additional fancy features like call waiting, screening, and tracing. Read our Xfinity Internet review.

Xfinity Voice Premier is itself already a long-distance plan. You pay $40 a month for premier service and get free long-distance calls to nearly 100 locations.

You can set up and use Xfinity Voice Premier by calling 1-800-931-0790. If you’d like to check your Xfinity Voice Premier voicemail, call your home phone number or log in to your Xfinity account online.

Xfinity Voice Premier is a VoIP service. It uses your internet connection to make phone calls versus using a copper wire network like a traditional landline.

Which provider offers the best home phone add-on to its internet service? Here’s how Reviews.org’s top five options stack up next to one another.

Spectrum Voice’s fair pricing—which includes a $15 three-year price lock and $5 international plan—makes it our favorite home phone deal. It even includes calls to seven different countries for free, the highest number of included countries in our top five home phone providers.

Cox is the second-cheapest option ($20 a month with $2.99 for international calling). A lot comes with that price—Cox Voice is perfect for anyone who wants a home phone but not to stay home. The Simultaneous Ring feature lets you answer your Cox Voice line from your cell with no problem.

Optimum Phone is a more expensive option: $25 each month. However, through Optimum you can get up to three additional home phone lines for $14.95 per line per month, making it more of a bargain.

At $30 each month, Verizon Fios Home Phone costs a great price and is the way to go if you crave newfangled, high-speed fiber internet with old-fashioned phone service. It isn’t available everywhere (you can mostly find it on the East Coast), but is still worth your money.

The most widespread option is Xfinity Voice Premier, which costs up to $30 a month. You can find it anywhere you can get Xfinity Internet, which is available across a good chunk of the United States. The Xfinity customers we’ve interviewed give Comcast generous reviews, and if you see yourself moving anytime soon, Xfinity Voice Premier is your best bet for a phone service you can bring with you.

All of our top five home phone lines are VoIP. You can look at true landlines in our honorable mention section.

While the internet and phone options above are Reviews.org’s top picks, they aren’t your only choices, especially if you live in an area where other providers are more common.

You can consider any of the internet and phone providers below—they’re all great options that performed well in our reviews.

If none of these best providers are available where you live, look for a fiber or cable internet provider with speeds of 300Mbps or faster that also offers home phone service. Home internet alone costs about $81 a month on average, but you can get decent Wi-Fi for less in many parts of the country. In a rural area, unfortunately, you might not find an internet provider that also offers home phone service.

You can also use your zip code below to determine what internet options are available in your area.

When looking for an internet and phone bundle, consider both sides of the equation.

If the internet service doesn't meet your needs, it's probably not worth getting the home phone service—especially since Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phones rely on an internet connection. Most home phone services nowadays run over the internet, and it’s rare to find a traditional landline service that operates on a copper-wire network. So if your internet is cruddy, the home phone will be too.

When looking for internet service to use with a home phone, consider (at the minimum):

• Speed of at least 300Mbps when possible
• Affordable monthly fees
• Unlimited data when possible
• Reputation for reliability

The trickiest part of finding internet is location. Luckily, Reviews.org has a zip code tool to help you find a service with all the right features and the right service area.

Make certain your home phone service has the following:

• Affordable monthly fees
• Features you require or desire, like spam blocking or three-way calls
• Affordable long-distance charges to countries you anticipate calling

Also be aware of whether you’re signing up for a Voice over Internet Protocol (which requires internet service) or a true landline (which doesn’t). A landline phone keeps you connected when your internet is down, so it may be the way to go if you live in a rural area or other area that’s prone to frequent internet outages.
