The OP said "for a short time" and anyone sensible would not connect the phone
line when it was moved!

My boxes haven't phoned home for several months. The HD box in the living
room hasn't since one of the kittens wee'd on the cable and it shorted,
resulting in me disconnecting it in order to get the phones working again.
The multiroom box in my study hasn't been connected to the phone line for
almost a year, since we mvoed into a new house. Sky haven't complained yet.

Having said that, both boxes were connected to the phone for at least a
couple of years before we moved house. I suspect that Sky may be more
tolerant of long-standing existing customers disconnecting the boxes than
new customers.
