"Yes, this phone is plugged in."
Sometimes a character will use a disconnected telephone, or a telephone handset with frayed wires poking out of the bottom. It is uncertain whether the telephones actually work with phone service, as Coach Z was talking to one of his parents with one in Homestar Presents: Presents. This is probably not the case, however, because Coach Z is known to do odd things. Some evidence that the phones have some function appears in the Strong Bad Email replacement, where Strong Bad uses one to page The Cheat despite the phone's lack of connectivity. There are no buttons on these phones, which would suggest that they are corded phones and the bases would have the buttons.
On a related note, Coach Z attempted to speak on a drawing of a cell phone on a notepad in diorama.
