Yabbut, with many people giving up their wired home phones and just using their mobile phones (for several reasons, including cost), the "home phone" may also be the "mobile/cell phone."

I like landline or wired and wireless, but that's just my opinion.

AT&T aligns pretty closely with the 6th graders: Home phone. Of course this may have a history of distinguishing it from business phone, also wired.

"Landline" is pretty commonplace. Ask a 6th grader what they think! My
kids call their cells their "phones" and the landline their "house
phone".
