Some sort of FXS adaptor  (Grandstream HandyTone 286 is still available)  and 
a generic cordless phone from any electronics store?  You may also need an 
adaptor with an RJ11 plug and whatever phone socket your local telephone 
company use; and in some countries this will need to be a "master" type  (with 
bell capacitor),  or else the phone may not ring.  (A "half-master" type -- 
which has the bell capacitor but lacks a surge arrester -- will also work 
fine.)
