: ¡"phone" no es "llamada"! Y personalmente nunca he oído nada de "pasar el dato". Si acaso "pasar daros", pero aún así no creo que sea una solución aquí...

chivatazo telefónico
Surprised to see how widespread the term is - I'd thought it was more colloquial than it turns out to be.

In reply to Cecilia: Yes I was worried myself about whether the tone was appropriate for your text.
Here in Spain, a chivato is a sneak, for instance in a classroom situation when one child point the finger at another. By extension a chivatazo is the giving of information which can be used against someone.

| "Spectacled Noni": Thanks for your answer, I think "chivatazo" doesn't "sound" very well in my translation. In addition, I don't know what "chivatazo" means... it is not used across the ocean I believe :-) |
