Peter Andrews expressed precisely :
Wired phone system, yes. When you are in bed and fire breaks out downstairs
and trips your power supply your bedside DECT phone is simply an ornament!
There is a place for DECT phones and I have several - but I also have a
number of wired extensions.

Isn't that where a mobile comes in?
