I haven't got much of an idea what I'm looking at, I need to buy a new phone for the house but I've seen some which are compatible with VOIP but are expensive, is it worth the extra money.
Any advice on the whole system would be great.
I currently have a --- RoadRunnter --- line and service and Dishnet TV with broadband package. Most phone usage will be evenings and weekend.

a VoIP phone would need to be programmed with whatever SIP provider’s service that you want to use… it would also connect to a port on your router, not to a traditional telephone jack…
roadrunner is a cable provider, so basicllay with out getting too technical about it – there telephone service is a form of VoIP- but the modem/phone adapter converts the digital signal to analog, so that you can use a standard telephone…
I would recommend just getting a normal DECT phone, or go one better, and get a phone that has bluetooth and can sync with your cell – this way when you are home, you can keep your cell on the charger, and answer your cell phone thru your home phone…
if you decide in the future to get VoIP phone service, you can just get an ATA to convert the VoIP signal to a standard analog telephone signal…
