They're coiled up like a telephone cord, (any kids in here may not know that phones used to have a cord), They still do--at least all the ones (five of them) in my house, except for the cell phones my wife and I have. Even kids may have parents who who still use land lines. I haven't had a corded phone since the late 80's, I think. I still have a 5-phone wireless set, but they are in a drawer and are at risk of going into the next box for Goodwill. My house isn't even wired for corded phones. They put TV coax in when they built it, and I've added Cat6 Ethernet cable myself, but there are no phone lines anywhere. My house (appartment) isn't wired for corded phones either, but I still have a (cordless) phone [1], which is connected to the telephone jack of the modem of my (coax cable) ISP. So you don't have to have special wiring to still have a 'landline'/'fixed phone'/whatever. Of course the difference with a *real* old-style 'analog' landline is that things stop working in case of a power failure. POTS lines stop working in case of a power failure? Not in my experience. -- Ken |
