I don't seem to have that problem.  I ordered two phone lines from NJ
Bell when I moved into my house 18 months ago. Two different numbers
on the same exchange, one bill. Even better, the second line was given
at a discount rate precisely BECAUSE they could bill to the same
address. And, it wasn't published, so that I can cheerfully ignore
incoming calls on it, because they have to be from random dialling.

I recently ordered another phone line (decided I wanted two voice +
modem and the builder wired the house with six-pair cable, so what the
hell). Different exchange (from the same building) but still one bill.
