Is there anything communication related where you don't need internet for?
Or does anyone has suggestions? Trying to make something out of this

A landline phone that connects to the telephone cabling via the wall jack.

That's more like offline verbal communication

They certainly were a hot commodity In the 80s & 90s.

Mine are the size of an average house brick, and probably weigh the same as well. Each unit requires "eight AAA batteries" to function.

ham radios. I knew a guy who set up a pirate radio station in the desert. military found it in 12 hours but it was fun while it lasted.

I'm not going to suggest a pirate station, but yeah ham radio. There's the obvious voice communication, but you can run computer network links over radio. You don't depend on infrastructure, so there's no need to pay someone to communicate. Just 100 watts on HF using a length of wire is enough to communicate with just about any point on earth or even in near space using nothing but a radio. Try talking to the folks aboard the international space station without a ham radio.
