    explain the situation to a neighbour and ask to borrow their phone for a minute if you really want it urgently

    Or...

    If you have any sort of a dialtone, you can dial 199000. A voice will talk back the number to you. Get a neighbour's phone, anyone's phone, to do this.

    And it's your choice etc. but why would you have a landline without even a basic handset?? It's cheaper to use the landline for calls.

    Buy your own handset in Argos / Tesco etc. Don't get one from eircom.
