Answer 4

I agree with what as been written, just wanted to add that in normal talk. a Cell phone can be understood as "móvil" "celular" or as simply as **"Cel"***(pronounced Sel)*

Answer 5

I have also seen "línea de comunicación por tierra", but not sur how common or correct that is for landline....

Also I have heard south american version of "móvil" is "cellular", so it depends on the country I guess...

Answer 6

Click here for all your telephone needs.

But let me add that a cell phone is just móvil. I don't think people generally say teléfono móvil.

I'm guessing that pay phone would be what teléfono público means.
