Because there are a lot of words about the telephone in Japanese, I expressed it with a List.
I made also the PDF file in order to download.
If you are necessary, please use it.

The line on the alphabet in a table expresses "the sound to extend."
These are Japanese relevant to a telephone.
The cellular phone is called "Ke-tai" in Japan.
携帯電話 Keitai Denwa
The pronunciation is "Ke-tai".
The sound of "Ke" extends and is pronounced.
As for the character expressing a cellular phone, kanji and Katakana are used.

It is better to use "Osoreirimasu" and "Osoreirimasuga", when asking politely. If these are used, it will serve as a very polite expression.
"恐れ入ります、電話番号は何番ですか？"
osore irimasu, Denwa Bango wa nanban desuka ?
"恐れ入りますが、電話番号を教えていただけますか？"
osore irimasuga Denwa Bango wo oshiete itadake masuka?
These are the almost same meanings.
Why does Japanese have various expressions in this way?
I feel it very strangely.
