I have two VoIP "landline" phones so this makes me pleased.

“One of my first memories is the tan landline that my parents had
mounted to the kitchen wall,” Nicole Randone told the Guardian. “I
always fantasized about the day I’d have one in my own room.”

The 24-year-old from Westchester, NY, added: “Having a landline really bridges that gap between reality and my childhood fantasy. I feel like
the main character in my favorite TV shows — ‘One Tree Hill,’ ‘The OC,’
‘Gilmore Girls’ — when I use it.”
