Temporary Land line porting

[Wish-I-Were-Fishn]

We sold our home and doing temp housing for a couple months until we close on the new place. We currently have a land line (I know, right?) and need to continue to receive calls from it. We each have cell phones, but don't want to give up the land line (yet).

Our number is currently with Comcast. Once we suspend our service for 2 months, I think we will lose our ability to forward calls. I was thinking about porting it over to google voice as a way to forward calls in the future to whatever phone we want, however they only port mobile numbers.

Any thoughts?

Get a cell phone using the land line number from some place with no contract, like t-mobile.   I don't know how it works to go back to landline.

Not sure how that would work going to a cell but you can do that Magic Jack. Used to do that when I still used land lines. It's cheap.

Switch it to VOIP, like vonage.   NOt sure how you get back to land line.
