Internet gateway
Will the internet gateway support my current land line. At present the land line works fine through Optimum cable modem, will it work through T-Mobile internet gateway.

Again, thanks for further details and clarification. In that case i rather port my land line number to Google Voice and buy a one time device Obihai OBi200 1-Port VoIP Adapter with Google Voice.
Before you do, I would check with here or TMO support to make sure it's compatible with TMO home internet. The routers are not configurable beyond basic wifi settings. TMO promotes Ooma for $9.95 per month so pretty sure Ooma works.

Thanks for the clarification. My current land line is connected directly to the Optimum cable modem and it works fine. T-Mobile internet gateway has a RJ45 jack, I can buy a RJ45 male to RJ11 female (phone line jack) adapter/converter and them plug my land line into T-Mobile internet gateway. I believe it should work.
No it will not work, there is no voice service on TMO home internet. It is data only. Yes, it does have a SIM with a phone number but that is only because the data is via cell service which must have a phone number. The RJ45 jacks are only for wired ethernet connections. You have to use a VOIP device like I suggested above.
