A house telephone is connected to a network by a physical connection of wires over land that join all landlines together to a central network provider (think SBC or Verizon), while a cell phone receives it's connection without a physical connection and instead connects basically like a radio receiver with antenna towers on the ground called repeaters that echoe a broader signal to a more specific local area. (Simple answer: house phones are connected by wires and cell phones are connected without wires-like radios)
