How about a little more info? How would I use an old Sprint phone? If I turn it on, it will just search for Sprint service. How would I disable that? Or maybe this only applies to an unlocked phone....? And then, how would I connect it to my LAN? via a USB cable?
We are referring to Android phones in this post. The carrier does not matter. You would connect to your LAN via WiFi. In addition I personally first put the phone in "airplane mode" and then manually turn on WiFi. That stops the phone from wasting the battery looking for cell service. If you have a particular phone give us the model number and we will try to help.

T-E-N D-O-L-L-A-R-S for a KitKat dual-core? This is insane....but then again I live in Canada, never seen something like that.
The Obi solution described is elegant, but for the occasional call and if you don't mind having to deal with (yet) another number, I found that GrooveIP with Ring.To (or if you have the old client, still working with GV) yields very good call quality and not much battery drain. A simple alternative...
I remember this was a hot topic in the day at XDA where people discovered the T-Mobile 30$/6GB+100min plans and the beauty of free calls. Now data is king and voice calls are almost a free give away by telcos.

Good tip for saving the battery. I didn't realize the wifi could work in "airplane" mode. I had never tried it.

There is a new program called Granstream Wave available for Android. It might be a good fit for this.
EDIT: Seems easy to set up and feature packed.
lhm.:
On the Coolpad5560S I get, "This app is incompatible with your device." + "No carrier", when trying to download Grandstream Wave. Any ideas why?
TIA
Edit, OS is 4.4.2 CsipSimple works well.
