hi @slessbrass
You have posted in the SKY Q TV group - if this is what you have had installed then it would not effect your landline.
Have you changed your broadband to full fibre (or anything else) ?
If so was Landline phone discussed ?
Switching to full fibre would entail switching a landline to digital VOIP - which may take a short while to be switched - assuming it was included

Re: Missing phone number/where is it?
If you dial 17070 on your landline phone it provides your Sky Talk landline number and should confirm Sky as the provider. If it does then call Sky free from your landline by dialling 150. Saying nothing when asked why you're calling sometimes helps in getting into the queue to speak to an agent.
Be aware that Sky don't guarantee the old number will transfer over.
