L.M. Ericsson's landline telephones from years 1894 and 1920 (L) are seen at the Elisa Telephone Museum in Helsinki, Finland on June 30, 2026. Finland pulled the plug on landline telephone calls after the operator of the last major fixed-line network ended the service with a ceremonial final chat. The end of the line came after Elisa, the country's last major telecom operator with a fixed-line network, discontinued its services.
