At least here in Buenos Aires, the cooper wires are too old and when there is a problem the landlines telephones companies replace them with a mobile device disguised as a landline. It has a chip, and perhaps some geographical restriction. It looks like an old phone, but it's a cell phone. You can also buy a very stupid phone, with a tiny screen and plastic buttons. It still has SMS, a camera and a browser but you must type the ULR in T9 that is as fun as it sounds. The main feature is that you can't use WhatsApp (that is super popular here), so nobody can contact you unless they realy want to speak.
