The phone is plugged into a phone jack in the wall in order to connect with the larger system of cables and relays controlled by the telephone company. Signals sent to and from the phone are passed through these cables, although some phone companies also make use of relay towers to transmit data. The fact that signals are transmitted through physical cabling also has the potential to make a landline more secure. Unless someone has access to the cables, and
