why the actually a cellphone requirement?

are we trying to contain costs, or is there no cabling etc where she is?

this is probably the cheapest landline option

but could also do a voip line through 2talk with a voip ATA eg Linksys SPA-2102 for $10 a month or so, but you would need a internet connection for that
This world would be a perfect place if it wasn't for the people.

She's going to be in a rest home. So we just want to be able to call her and her to make occasional calls out.

I saw this phone online which is probably as close to a home phone as you can get. It is only able to call 3 people but would be easy for someone like your Mil to use. I don't know if it is available in NZ or price, so may not be very helpful.
