    Alternatively, can you port it out to a VoIP provider and then take it with you wherever you go (even if you move house or move country)?
    I've got a number with Sipgate:
    Is this service completely free if I don't make any calls and just receive calls through an app?

    I just want a landline number to give elderly relatives who don't have a mobile to save them paying excessive prices to call me.

    I took advantage of their offer of a free local landline number (the same STD code as me) some years ago. I've not paid Sipgate a penny in that time.
