The main difference is that a land line means that the phone is physically connected to the network via cable, while a mobile is only connected by a radio channel.
When referring to a land line 10-digit US. number xxx-xxx-xxxx, the first 3 digits are Area Code, the 2nd set of 3 digits are the exchange code and then a unique number.
For example, in the phone number 710-622-2230, "710" is the area code; "622" is the exchange code, and "2230" is the unique number.
In the case of a mobile number, the first 3 digits are called MCC (Mobile Country Code) and the next 3 digits are MNC (Mobile Network Code). In the above example, "710" is the MCC, and "622" is MNC if it is a mobile network.
A cordless phone has a base station that must be plugged into a landline phone jack. A mobile phone talks directly to the network.
