| | English translation:extension for use when internet or router phoneline unavailable | Explanation:
This would be an extension connecting directly to the ordinary landline. I only use mine for outgoing calls when the router-connected (09#) phone is down for some reason, as most calls within metropolitan France are free on the 09# phone. |
