landline phones
Stationary home phones
Landline phones are telephones connected by physical wires to a telecommunications network, as opposed to cellular or mobile phones that use wireless signals.
Once the standard for home and business communication, landlines have declined sharply as mobile phones became ubiquitous: Does anyone still have a landline?
The term emerged only after mobile phones made the distinction necessary—before that, they were simply phones.
