> どうすれば電話で必要なことをきちんと伝えることができるか、。。。

In particular, I don't understand what is the purpose of どうすれば and why こと
appears two times.

My obviously bad understanding is:

> What important things you can properly convey through the phone...

question
grammar translation sentence
What is the purpose of どうすれば and why does こと appear two times?
> どうすれば電話で必要なこと **を** きちんと伝えることができるか  
>  What should we do to make sure we properly communicate the necessary things
> over the phone? (loose translation)

_Note the お - > を typo you had._

Regarding どうすれば I can do no better than point you to [this
link](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/44141/understanding-%E3%81%A9%E3%81%86%E3%81%97%E3%81%9F%E3%82%89).
It uses どうしたら but the meaning is the same. An in-place translation of どうすれば
might be "by means of doing what ...", but there is no natural direct
translation.

Regarding the two ことs, the first one means 'things'. 必要なこと = "things which are
needed". The second こと is part of the usual pattern "verb + ことができる" which
means "to be able to do verb".

A word-for-word translation might be something like "by means of doing what
(どうすれば), by means of phone (電話で), necessary things (必要なこと) properly (きちんと) can
we communicate (伝えることができるか)". Which roughly becomes my initial loose
translation.

I should also note that using か to indicate a question after the plain form of
a verb is a little rough. I wonder where this sentence came from?
