end call

Terminate the conversation

End call is the button or action that terminates a phone conversation, especially on mobile devices.

The phrase functions as both label and command: She hit end call before he could respond.

On touchscreens, it's typically a red icon.

The action itself—hanging up—predates the terminology, which emerged with cell phones.
