Untagged traffic on the port would be VLAN 77, since this is what you
configured at access VLAN and since the port is in forced access mode.

A compatible device (i.e. one the presents itself as a phone via CDP)
would activate the voice VLAN and thus allow tagged incoming traffic on
VLAN 66. This requires the switch (and port) to have CDP enabled by the
way.

The trunk configuration is ignored when you issue "switchport mode
access".

If you only need a stand-alone phone you can just use a simple access
port in the voice VLAN.
