Re: Customer-friendly word for "landline"

But the LINE is still analog :)

At any rate, if you're trying to write at a sixth-grade level, I would 
think landline is probably the best option. Also note there is a 
distinction between writing at a sixth-grade level and writing for a 
sixth-grader. Most sixth-graders would not know how to use the phones we 
boomers grew up with. I was quite amused when my nephew (born in 1991) 
first learned that popcorn could be made on the stovetop.
