Fixed Line Devices

A landline (also known as land line, land-line, main line, home phone, fixed-line, and wireline) is a phone that uses a metal wire or optical fiber telephone line for transmission as distinguished from a mobile cellular network, which uses radio waves for transmission. As such, a typical telephone number in Metro Manila and Rizal would look like this: Within Metro Manila, Rizal, and cities of Bacoor and San Pedro: 8123-4567. Outside Metro Manila, Rizal, and cities of Bacoor and San Pedro: 02-8123-4567. Overseas calls: +63-2-8123-4567.

Fixed-line telecommunications commonly refer to the wired networks that support fixed broadband and telephone services. ... A landline telephone, or fixed phone line, is a telephone that transmits signals using metal wire or fiber optic cable, as opposed to wireless transmission as seen in mobile phones. There are two types of landline phone connections, analog and digital. Analog landlines go through traditional “POTS” (Plain Old Telephone Service) copper phone lines — the type that has been around longer than any of us have been alive.
