@Michael329 if you have Sky Broadbannd you have the facility of a landline it is always included. For most recent services the voice line is provided by plugging a standard phone into the back of the Sky hub. Any standard UK phone including DECT cordless phones will work. Only older installs are still using a phone plugged into a phone socket and those will be converted in this year or so as Openreach are planning to decommission the old copper voice network from January 2027 see https://www.openreach.com/help-and-support/Upgrading-the-UK-to-digital-phone-lines-for-my-home-or-business

@Michael329

All Sky Broadband has a bundled voice call service: this will run through either a wall socket or the phone port on the rear of the Sky Hub.

Be aware that Sky doesn't supply phone handsets, and on the default bundle actually making outbound calls has a really high cost per minute.
