Parts of the Telephone

Very few people know the names of the parts of a telephone even though
they use it every day. Let's learn the names of the parts on a telephone.

The "receiver" is the part that we hold against the ear on the handset.
Likewise, the part that we bring near our mouth on the handset is called the
transmitter.
Some people mistakenly refer to the handset as the receiver.
