Base-and-handset telephones
Cordless phones are telephones that communicate wirelessly with a base station, allowing users to move around while talking.
The base connects to a landline; the handset communicates with it via radio waves.
Once revolutionary for home use, cordless phones have been largely displaced by mobile phones: The only people who still have cordless phones are my parents.
