Great examples and I had never thought to consider the origin, or even relatedness, of the N11 numbers. Thank you for the reference! You are correct, I should have said handset. I'm not sure if this is common, but with the involvement of cellphones in the house my family began referring to any handset in the house as "the landline." Example: "Can you grab the landline in the kitchen, I'm on the cell."
