Landlines are going to cease to be a thing in 2025
For real? I just got a reminder from BT that my contract is almost up and the prices are going up, thinking about switching to "community fibre" should I just forget about landline? I never use it. (But I do quite like having an old school phone in the front room just in case. )

For real?
BT, including Openreach provided, analogue and ISDN lines are planned to be switched off by December 2025. Other licensed operators with their own network might keep going, eg Kingston or Virgin.
Whoever you have a contract with might supply you with a device with a voice port, eg on the back of your broadband router. There might be a cost.
I've been unable to work out what BT are going to do for services that can't get broadband or mobile. ATA in the PCP?

Landlines are going to cease to be a thing in 2025, so a landline VOIP adapter ("ATA") is part of your future whatever happens. Most are ethernet only, so you'll need an ethernet wifi dongle.
