   Yes, it can give you a traditional phone and telephone number.  The   
   "dongle" I have plugs into a power source and has two ports... one is an   
   ethernet jack that I plug into my router, and the other is a phone jack   
   where one can plug in a traditional phone or, in my case, run the line to   
   the home phone jack so that the whole house is wired (if you do this, you   
   have to make sure the old phone box on the outside of the house is   
   disconnected!).   
      
   It also allows me to install an app on a smart phone that gives you "home"   
   phone capability (and free texts) on the smart phone.
