small/home business telephone advice

[Pazuzu]

I'm moving my company into a small suite from my home, and I want a desktop phone for the office.
I have a Google Voice number for the company. I'll have interwebz available from a wall outlet. I want classic business desk phone that will only be used for business calls, and will never be used for it's full potential. I always want this to be cheap, because I can simply continue porting the GV number to my cell instead of spending any real money.

Google Voice CANNOT be forwarded to a machine (phone), it must be forwarded to another phone number. THAT number can be associated with a phone.

Has anyone gone this route? Seems like my two options are:
1) Any old VoIP phone. Associate a phone number to it from one of the SIP phone number brokers like CallCentric. Then have GV forwarded to that number.
Cost is one used VoIP phone ($25), and a monthly fee for the SIP number of something like $2/month.

2) Get an Ooma Telo, which plugs into the ethernet, has a classic 4 wire phone port out, and has a built in associated number. Then, plug in any cheap old business phone. Cost is the Ooma ($50-60), and the basic phone ($25 on Facebook).

Basically, a one time fee or a small monthly fee.

How do you guys do it? Have you used an Ooma and found it to be easier? Do you have another solution?

Nothing? No one? None of you have gone with some sort of VoIP phone system for your home office? I know there are business owners here...

This may or may not help. I had the same phone number on a hard line for 40 years.
That number was on all my business cards and marketing material. It was a home line
but also used for business. When I closed my account with the local phone company to go
all cellular I did not want to lose that hardline number. Too many clients had the original
number and I did not want them calling and getting a disconnect message, thinking I
was out out business. My cell phone was with Verizon. They sent me a unit that plugs
into a wall receptacle. Voip ? I have a regular traditional phone that plugs into the unit.
Was able to keep the original old number. I just call forwarded that number to my cell
phone. If anyone who has had my number over the last 40 years calls it automatically
goes to my current cell #. Problem solved. I rarely use the traditional phone but could
if I wanted to. Works fine for me.
