Tbh it came as a bit of shock for me. Purely because of the sentimental value. I haven't had a landline in almost 20 years but I still remember the phone number we grew up with. Once I start a family I also thought "the family" needed a phone number, not just a phone number to each person. I guess that is still possible over mobile phone lines though. I was surprised nevertheless.

I have wondered what the closest thing for a "family" contact number might be. At least in the US.
One idea that came to mind was a family GMRS license. Cheap and FCC-official for the whole family, but until the spec is modified there might be a tiny distance issue. :-)

The universal family contact in the US is now “[familyname555]@[cablecarrier].com/net”

I noticed people aren't using those anymore, at least not around where I live. Seems like there's a family Gmail address more often unless they are 50+ y.o.

I’m guessing the numbers will stay and it connects to a VOIP phone plugged into the router.
