Telephones help people speak to one another when they are apart. For more than a
hundred years, nearly every telephone was a landline. A landline telephone is one
that needs to be connected by a wire to a network of other telephones. Because of the
wires, people could not take those telephones with them when they left their homes
or offices.

pay phone. Pay phones are landlines found in public places. Many payphones are on
the street. You can make a call from inside a glass or metal space called a phone
booth. Once you are inside the booth, you put coins into a slot in the phone to make a
call.
Telephones have seen a lot of progress. Today, many people carry cell phones. Cell
phones do not need to be connected with wires. They can be used almost anywhere
and can fit in an adult's hand.

carry in a pocket!
