The telephone desk is the smallest kind of fixed desk . Its traditional role is to provide a working surface barely large enough to write notes while speaking on the telephone , and in some cases to support the telephone or hold telephone books. In early generations of telephones the phone apparatus itself had a small desk built in. This was most common in wall mounted telephones of the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. The illustrations show front and side views of such an antique wall phone with a small slanted desk surface fitted with two ridges to keep paper and pencil from falling to the floor. File Antique telephone desk.jpg Image Telephonedeskjpegside.png The telephone desk has usually been a domestic piece of furniture. In an office a telephone would normally be placed on any form of desk, as close as possible to its users. In the last fifty years of the 20th century a domestic telephone desk would usually be placed next to a phone located in an entryway or a small lobby. With the widespread use of the cellular telephone and the portable phone, which permit complete liberty of movement and make note taking possible on any table or desk in a home, the telephone desk is rapidly becoming an antique form. In the past any telephone booth or call box used to have a tiny built in desk surface for the convenience of customers. An increase in vandalism and a higher concern for costs has led to the gradual elimination of these minuscule desk surfaces. See also the list of desk forms and types . References Mr Chips 101 plans.

Unreferenced date December 2009 A telephone prefix is the first set of digits of a telephone number in the North American Numbering Plan countries country code 1 , it is the first three digits out of a seven digit phone number.

An extension telephone is an additional telephone wired to the same telephone line as another. In middle 20th century telephone jargon, the first telephone on a line was a Main Station and subsequent ones Extensions . Such extension phones allow making or receiving calls in different rooms, for example in a home. Some telephones intended for use as extensions have built in intercom features. A telephone extension is an internal telephone line attached to a Private branch exchange PBX or Centrex system. The PBX operates much as a community switchboard does for a geographic telephone numbering plan and allows multiple lines inside the office to connect without each phone requiring a separate outside line. In these systems, a dialer usually has to dial a number typically 9 in North America, 0 in Europe to tell the PBX to connect with a landline also called DDCO, or em Direct Dial Central Office em to dial an external number. Within the PBX, the user merely dials the extension number of the person. Each phone line may be extended up to a fixed maximum. Reasons to use extensions Since not all users dial out at the same time, sharing trunking trunk lines is cheaper than giving each phone its own private landline. ref Newton, H Newton s telecom dictionary , page 901. CMP books, 2004 ref Extension to extension calls can be made and kept within the company for security reasons. Extensions make it easier for workers to bring their telephone number with them if they change offices in the building. Extensions allow personalized traffic and Call accounting data to be captured by the PBX or a phone recorder to be used to optimize resources. ref http www.versadial.com call recording terms.html extension Extension Call recording terms ref References references Category Telephony equipment Category Local loop de Nebenstelle nl Doorkiesnummer pt Ramal telefonia ... more details

Unreferenced date December 2009 A telephone hook or switchhook is the cradle where a telephone handset resides. It takes its name from old wooden wall telephones and candlestick telephone s, where the mouthpiece to be mounted on the telephone box and, due to sidetone considerations, the Transceiver receiver was separate, on a cable. When the telephone was not in use, the receiver was hung on a spring loaded hook its weight would cause the hook to swing down and open an electrical contact, disconnecting the telephone from the line. When the handset is on the cradle, the telephone is said to be on hook , or ready for a call. When the handset is off the cradle, the telephone is said to be off hook , or unable to receive any further calls. Example usage I tried calling you all day, but your phone must have been off the hook, because all I got was a busy signal. Additional usage A phone receiving many calls in rapid succession can be said to be ringing off the hook . Often cartoons will show a telephone handset literally bouncing above the ringing base unit. This most likely led to the present use of off the hook as a synonym for crazy or exciting . Last night was off the hook may mean last night was really awesome Off the hook , meaning freed from responsibility or culpability is not related to the telephone, but most likely derives from the image of a worm or fish dislodging itself from a fish hook .

Image Israeli telephon token.jpg right thumb An Israeli telephone token, or asimon , used until the late 1980s File JetonKZ.jpg thumb right 123 px Telephone token used in Kazakhstan Telephone tokens were once widespread medium of exchange for people wanting to talk on public phone s with someone before there were telephone card s to collect and use. These tokens were once widely used in Europe , Israel , Japan , and South America , and are still used today in Turkey . Phone tokens started in Chicago , where public phones would accept only tokens. These were used in the U.S. until 1944 when they were eliminated and most of the tokens were melted down to make shell casings. The earliest known telephone token dates from 1885, when it was produced for the PAN Telephone Company in Saint Louis, Missouri. Rather than being deposited in the phone, the token was given to an attendant or placed in a coin box to gain access to the phone booth. This practice of using tokens and allowing their specific value to float with the going rate for a phone call eventually became the standard world wide practice. This came in especially handy in European countries where currencies changed once you crossed borders, but a token could still be useful. In some countries, such as Italy, they were even used informally as cash equivalents. See also Gettone Gettone telefonico Telephone card References Commonscat Telephone tokens Groenendijk, Henk A.
