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.

The wire connected phone in your house is the land phone. In Ham Radio, they call the phone the land line. Sometimes hams connect their ham sets up to the land line and let the person on the other end of the radio talk to relatives over Ham Radio. :)

A land phone or land line is basically another term for your house phone. It basically consists of a wire connecting to your house for your phone services.

The correct term is Land Line. It is a phone network that originates from a traditional telephone serving office, usually in the subscriber serving area, and connects to the subscriber's home or place of business using a physical medium attached to the land. It could be buried cables or aerial cables attached to telephone or electric wire poles. All other uses of this term is borrowed.
