RE: or phone:

It is clear that the Greek prefix "tele" ("afar", "at a distance")  is
part of many words.  But the abbreviation "tel" is mostly used to mean
"telephone" (or telefone);  in any case better than "phone".

I cannot think of something better.  The other than I can think of are
worse; for example, "vox" for voice telephone that would be  "Latin
centric".
