Because I do not have a direct telephone line. In order to dial out
from my appartment, I have to dial 9, like in a hotel. The call will
go via the appartment building's switchboard (yes, it is a classic
PABX). Since they have only 24 lines for 80 or so appartments, the
time for each call is limited to 20 minutes, the PABX will cut me off
after that. So that not a few tenants block all the lines.

I can apply for a direct phone line directly with one of the
fixed-line providers, and it is not even expensive. However, I have
been planning to move to a bigger appartment, and am still looking;
that's why I don't have that direct line yet.
