Significado
to end a phone call
Contexto cultural
The 'трубка' is often used in idioms. For example, 'держать руку на трубке' (to keep one's hand on the receiver) means to be ready for a call. Public phone booths (таксофоны) were a staple of Soviet life. Hanging up the heavy metal receiver was a very tactile, loud action. Despite the dominance of Telegram and WhatsApp, the phrase is used for 'ending a call' in these apps too.
Smartphone usage
Even though you press a button, using 'повесить трубку' makes you sound much more like a native speaker than saying 'закончить звонок'.
Don't forget the 'у'
It's always 'трубкУ' (Accusative) because it's the object of your action.
