When the cable is down I switch Bluetooth device to my cellphone.
Running this setup for a few years now, no problems.
Handy Google Voice feature is the voice mail to text feature.
Why not just throw the google voice app on your cell and use that for calls? You can also set your phone up to use your wifi at home for VOIP while in range or if available and it'll swap over to LTE when not. Seems like you/re running a whole lot of extra stuff for no reason.

My only observation with google voice is that it does seem to drop lots of calls.
