My brother, who has been sick and I'm worried about him, is usually

*Groundhog Day*!

You interfere with your brother's privacy in an absolutely unacceptable way.

I don't think you understand brotherhood.

I think better than you. Brotherhood does not give you any additional
rights without consent by your brother. If he does what he does it is
none of your business.

The keyword is: *RERSPECT*

The original poster did not mention why he wants to be able to call his
brother.   If the brother has some physical condition that he needs to
be checked on, the telephone may be the only way to do it.

Several years before my mother died my brothers and I called her
frequently.   If she did not answer after a couple of tries, one of the
family would go out to check on her.  Since she insisted on living in
her apartment it was our only option.

Fortunately, during her last sickness the telephone system allowed us to
get her to the hospital.   By contrast, my wife's brother died several
weeks before his body was found.
