Not quite true, OFCOM, the regulator intends to end the old analogue phone service by January 2027.
Sky haven't announced their plans yet to switch existing landline customers to the new system. When they do, they'll explain what's happening and what you need to do.
In summary, you phone will then need to be plugged into a phone socket on the back of your broadband Hub. It won't work from a wall socket. Most existing phones, including DECT phoned should continue to work when connected this way.

Re: Landlines being kicked into touch
Thank you, Mark. Is my broadband Hub my router?
