Is that my phone? Where is that coming from? Kids! Find the phone before it stops ringing! Did it stop, or did did we come in the wrong room? I think... No... It stop. Well, help me find it. Call me on your phone. Y'know what should we do? If your phone had, like, a tether or string or something. And you bolted it to a particular place- y'know, like a wall in the middle of the house... Ooh! We could have a little self here in the wall- and whenever you needed your phone- this'd be your phone place. Could we get real human people to help us place calls? Maybe? Give me the Glynn residence? That'd be real nice.

Excellent idea! Seriously, it’s not about reinventing the wheel until you put a rotary dial on it.

wireline phones work better in an emergency, especially if the cell tower is a twisted mess in a farmers field.

As I was running all over the house looking for where I’d left my cell phone how I longed for the good old days when a phone stayed put.
I was looking for screen repair the other day and had to scroll past numerous sites for cell phone screens before getting to the window screens. Sigh. Never even got to movie screens or TV screens….

I hardly ever lose my phone. But I have panicked when I thought I couldn’t find it in my bag.
Adrenaline rush right there.xxx

If Grampa gets put on an at-home heart monitor you have to phone the results in over a landline—cellphones won’t do.
