Switching to a Broadband only contract

The best value Broadband contract I can find is broadband only, as far as I can tell. It’s with Vodafone Essentials for which I qualify. But it seems this doesn’t allow me to migrate my existing landline with my landline number. There’s hardly anyone I call who uses the landline but I still feel uneasy about loosing it. Is there any way around this?
thanks

I have just switched from BT to a full fibre company and lost my landline and phone, its great as i don't get junk phone calls anymore. Landlines are dead technology, move on and don't look back.1

I've not used my landline for 20 years!
Embrace the change, it is going for good soon anyway.
I've not had any moment during the last 20 years where I thought "wish I had a landline".1 -
I have a free virtual landline included with my FTTP.
I've mislaid my mobile a few times (I'm getting on a bit) and it was handy to be able to call it from the landline. Even that is obsolete now though, since I now just shout 'Alexa, where's my phone?'

Krakkkers, I’ve been assured by Plusnet that I won’t lose my landline number if I switch to them from BT. Even though Plusnet is a (full fibre) broadband only package. Currently have dozens of people in my contacts who use my landline number.🤷🏻0
