Telephone socket removal

[Talby]

Hello,

while moving furniture I have smashed a telephone socket in a bedroom. It was left hanging on by a couple of wires so I pulled it off. I don't need a socket there so am not bothered about fixing it but I just need to tidy it up. The cable disappears off into the wall and under the floorboards so I don't really want to have to pull it all out if possible. There are two other sockets in the house, one where the line comes in and another in the hall. I haven't used landline for years but had an old phone lying around and tried it in the other two sockets but there is nothing, however I do have Virgin so not sure if there should be a dial tone anymore. So what is the best way to tidy up the cable that went to the broken socket leaving it in place if possible?

Thanks

Can you disconnect in the outside virgin box?
If you can then rip out old phone wiring as will be dead.

Virgin wifi router has a phone socket that used now for landlines. Phone lines are being disconnected/discontinued

Cut the small cables different lengths and use some cable heat shrink over the end.

Scratch out wall or skirting and sink in cable end. Fill and paint
