What 📞 means

A telephone handset on its own. It means a phone call: call me, I'm on a call, or give us a ring.

Placed before a phone number, it labels it as the number to call. In work chat it suggests moving a thread to a voice call: “quick 📞?” Friends use it to ask for a call instead of more texts.
