Jeff's phone rings. It's Billy. He doesn't pick the phone up, just answers, and puts it on speaker.
Jeff: Hi, Billy.
Is 'puts it on speaker' the most natural way to express this? And is it enough without adding eg. '...phone' or '...mode' after 'speaker'? Thanks.
"Put the phone on speaker" is correct. There's also another way to say that:
Put the call [or the person] on speakerphone
