Organised crime not building telephone system (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

intercom

'telephone system' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'organised crime not' is the wordplay.
'organised' indicates an anagram.
'crime'+'not'='crimenot'
'crimenot' is an anagram of 'INTERCOM'.

'building' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for intercom that I've seen before include "Short-range telephone system" , "Phone system inside building" , "Speaker system" , "way to communicate" , "Receiver" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
