Explanation
The word combines ค่า, meaning a charge or expense, with โทรศัพท์, meaning phone. It can refer to either mobile or landline service and is common in everyday conversations as well as billing and expense contexts. Frequent combinations include จ่ายค่าโทรศัพท์ (pay the phone bill), ค้างค่าโทรศัพท์ (have an overdue phone bill), and ออกค่าโทรศัพท์ให้ (cover someone’s phone expenses).
Usage
It is commonly used when discussing monthly phone expenses, checking or paying a bill, managing a household budget, or claiming phone costs from an employer.
Caution
This normally refers to phone service charges, not the purchase price of a phone or smartphone. Use ราคาโทรศัพท์ for the price of the phone itself or ค่าเครื่องโทรศัพท์ for the cost of the handset.
