In my o2 app I see that I have a “Festnetznummer “ Landline Number.
I don't understand what this number is for?
How do I use this number.?
The number shows no area code?
Do I need a special telephone to connect to my HomeSpot router ?
I am on the o2 My Home M tarif with the included HomeSpot router
Nice greetings to all.

Hi
every German landline number starts with an area code. This means that the first few numbers depent on the city you are living in.
You have to connect a normal phone to your o2 HomeSpot router to use the landline number. Please have in mind that you can only call other German landline numbers for free. If you call a mobile number you will have to pay.
I don’t unterstand your first question. It is a landline number. Every contract includes one. You can’t boil an egg with it 
Kind regards,
Alex
Hi Alex
Thanks for your replay.
Have a nice day.
Hi
welcome back to our English Community. Thanks for your request concerning the included landline-number in your homespot-tariff.

Your landline-number is only beneficial for incoming calls. Just imagine that somebody who calls you does not have a mobile phone-flatrate. With many DSL-tariffs a mobile phone-flatrate is not so common. In this case, you can give the person you landline-number so that the person can call you for free. 
I hope I could help you with this information.
Loving greetings,
Tobias
Hi Tobias. I had to laugh too at

I love German Humour its quite “ Dry” and to the point. Sadly German humour is lost in Translation! As you all know the English humour is rather crazy ! But I love The German and English cultures , Makes life more interesting.
Tobias thanks for the additional information.
Next question what phone do you recommend to connect to the Homespot ?
Will I need some kind of adapter ?
