Yes, but your hardware is **way** more expensive and goes out of date
much faster.  A POTS phone from the 1930s will still probably work
with a 'real' landline.  For a handset that works on Spusu (or
whatever you happen to use) you'll need to replace it every few years
or so.

More expense, the disater that is 4G which works with some networks,
if you happen to have the right handset which works with VoWifi etc.
means that if you want to change anything it will likely stop working.
