What would be the equivalent of "direct dial" next to a person's phone number on a business card? Is it simply "telefon"? "chiyug yashir" doesn't seem right here. I can't think right now. :-)
Thank you!

: Roland is wrong, so is Yossi. There is nothing 'more correct' about khiyug yashir: all 3 versions are quite common.
