Hello,
I have the BT Falcon voip phone and my designated number, connected via ethernet cable to BT 2 Wire router and all is working fine regarding calls in and out. Question: is it possible to confugure the phone to be able to dial out via landline using button 5 as with some other types of routers ????

No its not, the phone has all the settings within itself and makes the connection itself, this enables you to plug it into different locations and for it to, in theory, work without issues. Of course this cant be guaranteed...
What you can do, is configure the VoIP line onto the router, use the voice port doubler in the voice port and plug a standard phone into line 1. You can then press 5 to breakout. What it essentially does is switch where the traffic goes in the router from the net to the phone line thats plugged into the DSL socket of the router.
The falcon phone is a very different animal... everything is done within the phone.

By broadband talk I presume you mean the residential service, you will have to call residential on 0800 111 4567 and listen to the options.
And I have already answered your query about pressing 5 in the post you made in the VoIP section of this forum, but here is a cut down version, it cannot be done, its impossible.
