house phone
Wired residential receiver
A house phone is a telephone provided for shared use in a building or establishment.
Hotels place house phones in lobbies for guests to reach the front desk or call rooms.
In older usage, a house phone distinguished a home's landline from a mobile phone: Just call the house phone if my cell doesn't pick up.
