phone

A phone, short for telephone, is a device that allows the user to converse via sound with another user also using a phone.

Technological advances have led to three key different types of phones:

1. POTS (plain old telephone service) phone — the one you use in your house that's hardwired to the phone provider
   
2. Cell Phone — telephones that are highly portable, use antenna towers to communicate with the phone
3. VOIP Phone -- voice over IP, a phone that connects via the Internet to another user

Blogs often times review and discuss Cell Phone features, models, and value.  Additionally, discussions may occur on POTS or VOIP services which many households still use.

If you are writing about any type of phone product or service, please use the tag "phone".
