I don't know anyone who has one but this is the situation according to Which:
"But those who don't have access to a mobile phone must not be left without a way to seek help in an emergency. Landline/broadband providers are responsible for additional protections to ensure customers can reach emergency services.
BT is supplying vulnerable customers with a battery backup that will ensure digital phone services will work for an additional hour if an outage occurs. Virgin Media's solution for those who need it is a device with its own battery that allows the landline phone to connect to mobile phone services. "

All I suggest is that anyone in this situation should contact their phone line provider

This is a really sore point for me as a lot of people don't have smartphones, and I'm one of them.
Many of my neighbours don't even have broadband, and as my 93yr old neighbour tells me, she feels she is too old to learn how to use one.
I recently had to take out a new contract with my broadband provider and next Tuesday, Open Reach will be coming to my home to install new equipment.
All I know is (correct me if I'm wrong) BT is getting rid of copper wiring so we can all go fibre optic?? and this has to be done before a certain time, probably in the next few years.
If we all have to have mobile phones instead of landlines, who is buying those phones for us?

That is difficult to answer 'yes or no'.
When the existing landline is disconnected you will be using the same phone connected to the router - talking over the internet using your old phone.
We (meaning the general public) are already using mobile phones connected wirelessly to our routers when we use WiFi calling, Skype or WhatsApp. There are probably other systems that I am unaware of.
As long as people want a fixed phone there is no reason for them not to be available via VOIP. Fixed phone VOIP telephones have been on the market for years, I used a Skype phone that looked like a traditional landline phone and had a 'proper' geographical telephone number. Nobody knew they were calling a VOIP phone.
On the other hand, if everyone in the household has a mobile phone they can do without the fixed phone line. When the old telephone lines disappear nobody will need a phone line to access the internet (I have been stuck with Virgin for many years because I don't have a BT phone line) so more people will be tempted to do away with their fixed line telephone.
