A landline phone is a traditional telephone that connects to a public switched telephone network through physical wires. It allows users to make and receive calls from a fixed location, typically in homes or offices. Landline phones are known for their reliability and clear sound quality, as they are not affected by mobile signal issues. Unlike mobile phones, which rely on cellular networks, landline phones use a direct connection, making them less prone to dropped calls. They often come with features like caller ID, voicemail, and call waiting. Despite the rise of smartphones, many people still use landline phones for their stability and ease of use.
