Notice that the crew members of Morpheus uses a hard wire phone to make the connection to get into "The Matrix" and back to the real world Zion, but uses a cell phone when interacting inside The "Matrix".

To understand the interpretation of the different "phone" usage, we have to know what  matrix and Zion represent. Zion is our  physical body and matrix is the mind. The hard wire phone represents the nerve connections that pass the electrical signals from the sense organs of the physical body (Zion) to the mind (matrix). To explain this further, let us the see the example of a seeing an object like "rose-flower". When we see a rose-flower, the light from the flower hits the retina of the eye which is then transferred as electrical signals to brain via the nerves.  This transfer of signals from the body (Zion) to the mind (matrix) needs physical nerve connections (hard wire phone).

        Now let us  think in our mind that we are crushing the  "rose-flower".  For this crushing action that occurs in our mind (matrix),  we do not need nerve signals to be passed from our physical body (eye)  to the mind. Now there are two independent thoughts. One is the thought of the rose flower and another thought is the flower crushing thought. To connect these two thoughts in the mind, we do not  require the body nerve connections to be involved. To put in other words,  the connections between any two thoughts in the mind is a "wireless connection". This wireless connection in the mind world (matrix) is shown as cell phone in the matrix movies.

Therefore  when we want to "jack in" a thought into our  mind (matrix), it always occurs  through the nerve connections of the physical body. Understand , every thought is generated  by the interaction of the objects through the five sense organs and its perception, i.e, touch, sight, smell, sound and taste, through the nerve signals (phone) But once a thought is created in the mind (matrix) the subsequent thoughts in the mind does not require nerve signaling from the body. We project our own thoughts in the mind in a wireless way. Matrix is thus a projection of the world by the mind and we can always plug into and out of it. When we deeply go into our mind we forget our body, the real world , Zion.

          This concept of mind and body is deeply connected with the symbolism of Merovingian , who  describes his role as a trafficker of information. Information of the worldly  objects is perceived by us through the above mentioned five sense organs.  Merovingian is the trafficker of this information and that is  he is seen in a club, surrounded by wine and women. It is very interesting to know why he drinks "French wine", why he talks about the cake eaten by a women in red in the club (matrix reloaded) and also why he enjoys watching the sensual dance in the club (matrix revolutions).

       The above concept of mind and body is also the linked to Cypher who does the image translator's work for the construct program. It is simply enjoyable to know how Cypher represents the  symbolism of translating the images of the world into the thoughts of our mind (matrix). Similarly every character in the movie represents different aspects of this mind (matrix) and  body (Zion) connection. The "war" is the conflict of the projection of the mind (matrix world) and the reality of the physical world (Zion).

It is fascinating to go with Neo to undertake the "Journey to the source" and understand the deep concepts of the movie, which is nothing but our own experience of life.
