"Mobile" in England these days always seems to mean what Americans call "cell phones", and the French call "portables" (or sometimes "téléphones cellulaires").

Landline phones that aren't anchored by cords get called "cordless phones".

"Wireless" seems to mean something different yet again. For it still brings to mind the old Home, the Light and the Third programme.
