Hi
I am thinking of buying this router to use with a separate unlimited SIM: The ZTE MF286R, LTE CAT6/4G Unlocked Wireless Router

This YouTube video below says you can plug a home phone in it. So wait... I can use my former VM landline phone on a router with no monthly phone line charge?!
How does that work please? Is it VOIP? (Feel free to dumb it down! - I know NOTHING!)

And what will determine the phone number I get?
Any other router advice would be appreciated.
Thanks a lot

Look at it this way... In a hundred years who's gonna care?

- some other router, but is worth having a look.With regard to the number, I think it's the number allocated to the SIM.
