Abstract: In a telephone usable as both table mounted type and wall hung type by selectively changing the direction of attaching of a holding board of which upper side extends at a certain inclination angle relative to the bottom thereof, a casing of the telephone is detachably fitted onto the holding board. The holding board includes receiving means for receiving telephone cable in the form of a bundle and it is formed with an inlet hole through which the cable is introduced into the holding board and an outlet hole through which it is taken from the same. As required, an excessive part of the cable is received in the holding board and thereby an usable length of cable can be reduced remarkably.
