telephone bill ac

to cash

When you receive the bill, but have not paid it, which is done in accrual accounting but not cash basis, the entry is:

Telephone Expense (debit) $$$

Telephone Expense Payable (credit) $$$

Once the bill is actually paid, even then it is removed from the payable with the following entry

Telephone Expense Payable (debit) $$$

Cash (credit) $$$

If you are paying the bill as you receive it, the only difference is skipping the payable account and debiting the expense account and crediting the cash in a single entry:

Telephone Expense (debit) $$$

Cash (credit) $$$
