Back in the before times, phones used to plug in to a special port in the wall. The part you would speak into was called the receiver. The receiver was connected to the telephone with a coiled cord so you could gain a bit more distance from the telephone while using it.

I have a land line. When the power goes out, I unplug the cordless receiver and plug in our corded phone that I keep in the china cupboard.
