desk phone
Corded workplace communicator
A desk phone is a telephone designed to sit on a desk or table, as opposed to a mobile phone or wall-mounted unit.
The term gained currency as cell phones became dominant, creating a need to distinguish stationary office phones: I'll be at my desk phone all afternoon.
Desk phones typically connect to landlines or office phone systems.
