Instead of Mobiltelefon, also Kabelloses Telefon, but we don't use that any more.

Hope, it helps.

Explanation:
This has nothing to do with the cordless phone and everyting with mobile communications (Mobilfunk) in the form of the "Handy" -- the beloved, ubiquitous _Mobiltelefon_ so very popular in Germany as well as in other European countries and Japan. This is indeed a mass market (Massenmarkt)... and one of the current key targets of the IT /telecom industries (along with handhelds/palmtops and E-books).
