Tel is a common abbreviation for "telephone," whether it be a rotary dial phone, flip cell phone, or modern smartphone. You will likely see it preceding a phone number, i.e., "Tel: 123-456-7890," in various contexts, including online and in emails (sometimes in email signatures).
For example, you may message your friend, "You can reach me on my tel after 8 pm, but only by message." Or, you might email your family, "I lost my tel in the lake, so you can email me if you need to reach me until I get a new one."
