Making/taking approx 40 calls a week for work I see very few landline numbers. Where I do it's likely subject will be an older person.
Referrals from outside bodies, typically for debt advice, often give mobile number and landline. About 20% of landlines go to an 'out of service' message. Number is presumably on referrers database from whenever and they neglect to confirm the landline is current before passing it on.
