If you can still get Shok to ship you the phone, the Schok
Classic flip phone is fairly good.  It claims to run actual
Android rather than Alcatel's Kai OS.  The virtual mouse cursor
works for a lot of web-app-y stuff.  Unfortunately, I think Schok
is phasing out their flip phones.

Your landline carrier sounds like Ziply.  If so I suggest caution
when porting a number.  About 1.5 years ago, I ported my 20+yo
landline number from Ziply to Ooma but wanted to continue the
FIOS internet service.  Despite a Ziply agent assuring me that
the internet service would continue without interruption, Ziply
shut down the internet service at 10pm on a Sunday night, which
caused me to miss a whole Monday of WFH.  Xfinity/Comcast had new
service functioning late Monday afternoon.  Ziply was ~24 hours
later, which would have cost 2 days of work.

Other than Ziply's lack of truthfulness and back-stabbing, the
switch to Ooma for the landline number has been very good.
