Landline phone with own router on FTTP

Just got FTTP and everything is working fine off the VF router. Phone lines are plugged into the VF router, VF router's WiFi is switched off. 3rd party Mesh has been switched to Bridge mode and plugged into the VF's ethernet port.

However I am shocked at how feature poor the VF router is. e.g. There are no Parental controls at all. I know I can get rid of the VF router and plug my own Mesh router into the Openreach ONT, but what about the Landline. 

Are there any 3rd party routers in the market that have a telephone socket at the back to allow the home phone to be plugged in?

Just out of interest, what is the registrar information for that Vodafone provided? I am only just slightly more than a newbie to all this SIP stuff, but have a vast technical and computing background. I have this so far:

 

User name for Vodafone broadband DSL  Not needed for voip. This PPPoE login is for using a third party router only.

Password for the above  As above

User name for Vodafone Digital Voice (visible in stock router).  In voip terms this is your SIP User ID and  your Authenticate ID

Password for the above

SIP server for the above  Lord knows (if it's in the format xxx.xx.bbvoice.vodafone.co.uk then it's your proxy server.

SIP Registrar.  I assume they mean your SIP server - "resvoip.vodafone.co.uk"

 

These are all the details I could extract from Vodafone agents, and they gave them willingly.

For everybody - when my new handset arrived I could not get it working propely. After examining my logs on the old syslog server it turned out vf had changed the SIP User-Agent from "Vox 3.0" to "Vox 3.0v" during the downtime. A small detail that can trip anyone up.

Too late to edit but something else I've picked up on. Digital Voice with Grandstream devices (may affect others) does not like IPv6, whereas the Vodafone network itself prefers it. In your device's network settings select "IPv4 Only", or at least "Both, prefer IPv4".
