callee
One being phoned
A callee is the person or thing that receives a call.
In telephony, it's whoever picks up when you dial.
In programming, when one function invokes another, the invoked function is the callee: The callee returns a value to the caller.
The term is technical and appears almost exclusively in computing and telecommunications contexts.
