In "The Matrix," a phone is a symbol of helpful communication as well as a link to the real world.
In addition, they represented the bridge between life and death, the pathway between the real world and the matrix. Most importantly, a phone was a lifeline and the only means of escaping from the matrix.
The use of analog rotary phones also was intentional symbolism. According to the W brothers, it "linked the analog nature of older technology. We liked the suggestion of old original phone hackers, it sort of suggested in the big Rube Goldberg device that's in the mirror scene."
Morpheus: "I know, they cut the hard the line. There's no time, you're going to have to get to another exit... You have to focus, Trinity. There's a phone at Wells and Lake."
Morpheus [to Neo]: "When I tell you, go to the end of the row, to the office at the end of the hall."
Morpheus [to Neo]: "This line is tapped so I must be brief. They got to you first, but they've estimated how important you are..... Now, do you still want to meet?"
Neo [to Agent Smith]: "I know my rights. I want my phone call."
Morpheus [to Tank]: "Need an exit."
Neo [to tank]: "Mr. Wizard, get me the hell out of here!
Cypher throwing the phone away in the garbage can is symbolic of his desire to stay trapped in the matrix (have no connection to the real world) and keep the others there as well.

Phones
전화
by Dew
전화는 통신수단일 뿐만 아니라 현실과 매트릭스를 연결하는 다리이다. 매트릭스에서 탈출하는 유일한 도구로서 주인공들에게는 생명선과 같다.
구식 다이얼 전화기를 사용하는 이유는 상징적인 의미가 있기 때문이다. Wachowski 형제는 말했다. 그것(전화기)은 "구식 기술의 아날로그적 성격을 연상시킵니다. 우리는 초창기의 전화선을 이용한 해커의 모습을 원했는데, 네오를 깨우는 장면에서 보이는 복잡하고 촌스러운 장비들과 같은 것이죠. (it linked the analog nature of older technology. We liked the suggestion of old original phone hackers, it sort of suggested in the big Rube Goldberg device that's in the mirror scene.)"
(역자) 구식전화기만이 통로가 되는 데에는 이유가 있다. 모든 관객이 대충 짐작할 것이다. 이에 대해서는 후에 더 많은 정보를 수집하여 추가할 생각이다.
