Thanks everyone for the comments, both off- and on- list. It sounds
like this is a lot easier to do than I first thought, the key being to
order the line from someone clueful rather than a mainstream player.

Hi,
Is there anyone out there who can provide xDSL (fttc preferably) with a
non-working phone line?
We get a WLR POTS with no call plan (so emergency only) when
customers want one to go with our ADSL/FTTC
one thing to be aware of that I've encountered through several parties....
some stuff is badly documented or marked up and it appears that when engineers
need to find a spare circuit they just check for dial-tone being present
and if none, pull the circuit for their own use to clear another request.
so circuits with no phone line in the plan are at risk.
It needs more than dialtone in some cases, see

A&A play a recorded message (and IIUC log these being played)
to mitigate this.
