I suspect this isn't the hole story:

I feel like ripping the phone out. I had just nodded off just after 1 when my brother rang and I couldn't get back to sleep. I was just trying to have nap now and my wife rang. I had better not try again as I have got to go out to have my shingles jab.

I had two landline phones, one of them was for my electrical business. The other was for my wife and me, and our two daughters. They were still at school and I'd hear the phone ringing late at night. They would also call their friends and talk past midnight despite my forbidding them to make calls that late, so I fixed it. I ran the phone lines to two switches in my bedroom closet, and when I went to bed around 11, I'd turn their phone line off. In later years they told me how it made them annoyed to find the phone was dead. Sometimes I'd turn off the business phone, too, because I was just too tired to go out on service calls at midnight or later.

I think we have a landline number.. It's never been plugged in since we moved here several years ago.
We just rely on mobiles & switch to silent as & when necessary.

The main use for my landline has been to ring my mobile so I know where I might have left it.
