Narrative:
On climb out, got a turn and frequency change from tower. This occurred at the same time after takeoff checklist was being accomplished by me. I stopped the checklist to answer, set new frequency and heading for the first officer. Upon returning to checklist the flaps were omitted. Flaps remained at 15 degrees until descent, when at approximately 220 KIAS, it was noticed. Structural limitation is 200 KIAS. Aircraft was grounded in ile pending maintenance inspection. Aircraft inspected. No damage. Returned to service, and we returned to training.
