   @ben This is common, but (older/vulnerable?) people who want to use current phone handsets (after the landline network is switched off next year), will need to power a router, a (powered) adapter and a phone (or base station) into the adapter. Some will also need a backup power supply. The alternative is, of course, to retrofit or surface mount a phone extension to near a power socket or retrofit power to near the front door. Oh dear!

     @tokyo_0 @ben The UK landline network will be switched off by the authorities at the end of 2025. It's up to individuals how late they leave it to sort out any alternative.

     @tokyo_0 @underlap The UK Analogue Voice system will be shut down next year (2025). Even if you just want a voice line it will be provided as a VoIP connection on a 0.5mbps ADSL connection over the existing copper pair.
