Coming up on Hands on Tech, let's take a look at what's involved when it comes to porting a landline to a mobile phone.

Stay tuned.

Hello and welcome to Hands On Tech. I'm Micah Sargent, and today we are taking a look at a question from Will.

Will has written in to say this.

I am ready to kill off my landline.

Kind of.

I would like to port my landline number to my old Google Pixel 5 and use it as the home phone.

This phone will stay at the house and be used like a home landline phone,

but saving me the $35 a month AT&T charges with the internet service.

All the calls that would normally go to the landline would go to this phone.

What all should I do other than port the number?

Should I get a new Google account for the home number with a new email address?

I would like to hear all of the great ideas you have.

Thank you and have a wonderful day.

All right.

So here is the thing.

First and foremost, Will, you talk about saving money by porting over your number to this Google Pixel device.

It depends on how and where you are porting this. So it sounds like what you're wanting to do is use Google's own services like Google Voice to port over this

number. So you would take your landline that currently exists with AT&T, and you would port this number

over to Google Voice, and from that point on, this device would stay at home, and because it has

a Wi-Fi connection, it is then able to take these calls and give you access to that.
