Yes, a telephone uses electricity. Per the "How Stuff Works" link, below, the land telephone uses different wires than your home or business' electric power lines. Thus, if your home or business loses electrical power (i.e., the lights, computers, etc, go out), your land phone may continue to work, provided that nothing has happened to the phone line (i.e., its wire was severed or the phone company feeding power to your phone lost power, etc).
