A cordless phone (also known as a portable phone) is a handset without wires that uses radio waves to communicate with a base station (the base station is in turn wired to a fixed telephone line as normal).This gives the user a level of freedom to roam while talking and communicating on the telephone.
Later models of the cordless phone include 'cell handover' which uses standards such as PHS and DECT, so there is a blurring of the term cordless phone because mobile phones can now be used to recieve 'landline calls whilst in the house, and mobile calls when on the road.
Most cordless phones have rechargeable batteries which use the base station as its charger. Therefore when not in use the handset is normally (or at least periodically) placed back on the base station.
