RE: Customer-friendly word for "landline"

["Weissman, Jessica" <WeissmanJ -at- abacustech -dot- com>]

And I would just say "Call 555-1212", leaving it to the reader to decide what device to do so on.   "Dial" is still in common parlance, taken as metaphorical most of the time I suppose.   

As for the terminology, my current employer has us list phones as Office, Home, and Mobile.  I have no problem with landline; it fills a useful semantic slot where no other term fits precisely.  That's why it won't remain slang for long, if indeed it still is.
