With google voice, can I use my current cell phone or do I need to get a new landline phone to use?

You use whatever phone you want, or no phone at all. Here is a quick Voice rundown:

You get a free number that is your Google Voice number. Whenever somebody calls this number, any device that is signed into your Google account rings. For example, the Hangouts app (or Google Voice app) rings on both my phone and tablet, and on my computer I see the incoming call in gmail in my browser. You can also set Voice to forward calls to multiple other numbers, and it rings them all at once. Whichever phone you answer first gets the call, and the others stop ringing.

It's free and pretty neat, and comes in handy sometimes, so it can't hurt to sign up and play around with it.

My company wanted to charge my team $250 for the signal booster and my boss never responded to any of my requests for this. Are there good boosters for cheaper than $250?

There are some for less than $250, but I'm not sure about the quality. I have used a few zBoost models in the $250-350 range and they all work well.

If your boss/company is giving you the runaround, then you might just have to buy one yourself if it is impacting your ability to work from home. Maybe see if they'll go halfsies with you?
