 | | Unlike a mobile phone, a cordless telephone is considered to be landline because it is only useable with a short distance of a base station connected to a fixed phone line. |
 | | It is important to note that there is probably no one "inventor of the telephone." The modern telephone is the result of work done by many hands, all worthy of recognition of their addition to the field. |
 | | Cordless telephones, first invented by Teri Pall in 1965, consist of a base unit that connects to the land-line system and also communicates with remote handsets by low power radio. |
