A cordless telephone or portable telephone is a telephone which has a portable handset but which one can use like landline phone communication; such telephones operate using radio-frequency transmission rather than a physical insulated wire or a direct connection to a telephone line. A cordless telephone's base station connects with the telephone network through a telephone line (like a corded telephone) and also includes a charger to charge the handset's batteries. The operational range is limited, usually to the same building or within some short distance from the base station.
