proof of ID than a cellphone. The lamdline is registered to -- and
wired to -- a physical address.

 
They will struggle in the UK soon, then. All landlines disappear by the end
of 2025  - there will only be VoIP.

 
Hardly ever read so much nonsense. We know Newyana does not have a cell
phone but he or she wants to have a big mouth in technical groups
discussing mobile technology.
 
For you: IP-telephone lines are landlines. Landlines are not what you
think they are. The backend is even in the UK ip-based for years.
 
Here in Switzerland VOIP/ip-endpoints are mandatory since 2017.

Here we designate wired analogue connections running under PSTN as
landlines - nothing else. What I say is correct. There will be options to
continue the old lines for a few who cannot cope, but not for long.
