A telephone holder according to the present invention includes a carrier (101) and a body (102), which are able to move vertically in relation to each other between two extreme positions. In the first extreme position an electrical connector of the telephone (111) is galvanically connected to a counterpart (109) of the connector in the holder. In the second extreme position the connector is disconnected from the counterpart. The carrier is joined to the body by means of slide surfaces (103, 104), which permit the carrier to move back and forth vertically in relation to the body between said extreme positions. The movement and its extent are governed by springs (106), for example. The holder according to the present invention can be accurately formed according to the contours of the telephone (111), preventing the telephone from moving laterally while in the holder, facilitating alignment of the connector with the counterpart (109).
