tel

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'terry's phone's' is the definition.
'tel' can be an answer for 'phone's' (short for telephone). I am not sure about the 'terry's' bit.

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tel that I've seen before include "Ancient mound in Arab lands" , "Ancient mound in Middle East" , "Small number" , "-- Aviv; old mound" , "Phone number (abbrev.)" .)
