Suggestions for this situation?

I've had Ooma since 2009.

In the last 2-3 years, though, I've had it forward all calls to my cellphone.

I **think** the ability to do so only comes with the "Premier" subscription that I have paid each year (last time it was $131/yr.). But I haven't actually used my handsets connected to the Ooma box in well over a year.

Number re-direction is the service I need but $11/month seems pricey (since I'm not using any of Ooma's other features -- although their community blacklist of spam calls is nice and I presume has kept me from getting such calls in lots of instances).

Every once in awhile, but really, only a couple of times a year, the ability to use the Ooma iPhone app to make a wifi call has come in handy (I **think** this may be only available with Premier add-on) but now with AT&T having wifi calling on my iPhone 6 (iOS 9.0.2) that seems much less needed too).

I don't want to give up the Ooma phone # though.

So, are there alternatives that I could look into that would a) let me port the Ooma # to another service; and b) that other services could be managed online to re-direct to my cell phone; an c) which is cheaper than what I currently have?

Finally, if anyone knows, if I should port the number, cancel Ooma, would I be able to reinstate later at my original no monthy fee for basic service price (I have one of the original boxes that has no monthly charges)

Thanks for your wisdom
