business phone

Company contact number

A business phone is a telephone line or device used for work rather than personal calls.

The term distinguishes professional communications from private ones: Don't call my business phone after hours.

It may refer to a landline at an office, a company-issued mobile, or simply a number reserved for work contacts.
