Is there a VoIP handset that works as a landline with a number for normal phone users to ring?

You can get Grandstream ATA units that you plug into your network, then plug a standard POTS handset into
You need a VOIP provider to get a phone number - Sipgate do a decent service, been using it for over a decade

I'd echo the Grandstream HT801 recommendation.

Echo this as well, have just installed a Grandstream HT801 and using Sipgate. Works really well, cheaper than a landline, and can move it anytime I like!

It's also very handy to have your VoIP number connected to a softphone. When I was on holiday in Brazil early last year I needed to call a few UK numbers and rather than paying the exciting EE roaming charges I had my iPhone connected to the Wi-Fi in the Airbnb and could make calls over my Sipgate account for pretty much zero cost.
