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?
