From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A landline, main line or fixed-line is a telephone line which travels through a solid medium, either metal wire or optical fibre. This is distinguished from a mobile cellular line, where the medium used is the airwaves. Landlines usually cost less than cellular lines and provide better voice quality, and are used when there is no need for mobility or where cellular service is unavailable. A land line is also used to increase the security of communications, as it cannot be intercepted by a receiver without physical access to the line. (This does not, however, mean that a telephone company will not send the call over the air on some point in the journey.) In 2003, the CIA reported approximately 1.263 billion main telephone lines worldwide. China had more than any other country, at 350 million, and the United States was second with 268 million - this compared with 219.4 million cellular telephones, a number which is expected to exceed the landline number within a few years. In 2008 there were 1,270 million fixed line subscribers in the world. The number of households having a mobile phone but not a landline (Cellphone Only or CPO) reached 18% in the United States and the number of landlines used in developed countries began to decline.

I've never known why. I do like my current phone system, the Panasonic KX-TG5576 digital answerer. It's pretty expensive but works very well. It doesn't show signs of decay yet, so I have high hopes. You can download the PDF manual for it on under Support on . It has talking Caller ID, which is very cool. You can have up to 8 handsets and put them in any room in their own chargers. I have no trouble getting perfect signal from one end of the house to the other. Some of the interesting things you can do: Use the handsets as an intercom.

I want to call an English landline from a Canadian cell phone. How would I go about doing so? I'm with Rogers Canada, by the way. I would also like to know how you would call an English cell phone from a Canadian cell phone. If anyone could help me, it would be greatly appreciated.

To call England from Canada you should enter: 011 + 44 + phone number (usually 10 digits, must not start with zero). UK cell phone numbers are not geographic and the first digit is 7.
