telephony 

This is the science of turning sounds into another type of media (radio, Light, electrical signals, etc), sending them to another location, usually far away, and then back into sound.

Telephony software is software that can be installed on your computer to send sound via modem, or via IP (VoIP). There is also telephony software to turn a computer in an advanced fax, and answering machine.

Telephone: You say "hello", it gets turned into electrical signals, travels through the wire, then to the phone on the other end, and back into sound, so that the person on the other end hears "hello".

VoIP (Voice over IP): You say "hello" into the mic, the computer turns it into 1s and 0s, sends it into an IP packet, into you cable modem, your ISP will possibly turn that into a fiber optic signal, back into an electrical signal at your VoIP provider. The VoIP provider will then send it to the phone it needs to go, OR send it to the other VoIP recipient.

Telephony 

the act of using telepathy over the telephony.

Phone operator 1: I just had the worst caller...
Phone operator 2: Yeah? What did you have to do?

Phone operator 1: I used my telephony to slap them 3 times... I don't think they'll call again, but if they do I'll have to knock them out.

telephone ear, telephone elbow, & telephone hand

After a long time on a regular house phone (not a cell phone), the ears, elbows, & hands get so tired from holding the phone they get sore.

That 5~hour phone call sure gave me telephone ear, telephone elbow, & telephone hand making them so very sore.

Talking to God on the big white telephone

Being in such a paralytic state from the mass consumption of alcohol that when you reach the toilet you are usually slumped down hugging the bowl and screaming 'Oh God!' into the shit abyss in between violent bouts of upchuck.

Yeah man, got so wasted last night I ended up talking to God on the big white telephone!

pink telephone 

Used to describe female masturbation and orgasm as used in the phrase, "I dialed 'O' on the pink telephone."

I was so horny last night that I fired up my vibrator and dialed "O" on the pink telephone.
