The technology might be too far advanced to allow jamming.  If the
jamming 
technology is designed to spoof high tech signals by reading frequencies

and inserting noise and such like, a simple landline might defeat it.

[Tomb] Yep, but I had in mind an EM static generator that used induced
EMF to destroy the baseband signal on the line (something planted
perhaps by grenade or mortar or other method near the line). The line is
one big antenna. Mind you, when you can do that, you'd probably just cut
the line, unless you were being selective in what parts of messages you
blocked.....
