phone icon

Tap to dial

A phone icon is a small graphic depicting a telephone, typically used in digital interfaces to represent calling functions.

On smartphones, tapping the phone icon launches the dialer or phone app.

On websites and business cards, it indicates a contact number.

The icon usually shows an old-fashioned handset silhouette—a shape increasingly unfamiliar to younger users who've never seen a landline phone.
