Hi, What does it mean to get a phone duty? It sounds like the person was told by his boss to sit beside the telephone and answer any calls. It's not a very idiomatic expression.

I think it is a reasonably common phrase in the appropriate environment. In secretarial pools, for instance, the staff take turns at phone duty: being the person responsible for answering the phone. Here are some on-line instances:
I was on phone duty all afternoon today, and will be for the rest of this week too as we're so short staffed.
