We got a landline as part of a cable package deal when we bought our last house that we partially rented to my daughter before we took over it.
It came with an old rotary phone so I put 867-5309 for the number tag on it.
A few months later my daughter figured it out after some people called her out on it.
She didn’t see the humor in it .

There are portable battery packs and solar chargers for cell phones that are not expensive.
