Google voice alternative/help me retire my phone number

What can I port my current phone number to that's not Google Voice and that I don't have to pay monthly/a ton of money for? I am willing to pay Some Amount to be free from the overwhelming spam caused largely by having the same number for 20 years.

I have been searching online but everything seems geared towards companies or whatever/is very expensive.

Please let me know if you have any recommendations or know a good way to search for this!

Thank you 🕵‍♂️

VoIP (e.g. voip.ms)? or maybe JMP?

Request a different number?

Apologies if I was unclear, I do intend to get a new number but since I've had the same one for so long I don't want to miss any important calls or messages. So I'm looking for a way to port my current number so that I can still occasionally check voicemail or texts.
