What is a phrase called that uses all of the letters of the alphabet?

A sentence that contains each letter of the alphabet only once is called a perfect pangram. A pangram is a sentence containing every letter of the alphabet. As far as I know, in English, perfect pangrams can only be made by using abbreviations and/or very obscure words.

Who knows a sentence other than the one about the quick brown fox that contains every letter of the alphabet?

While "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" is the most famous pangram, it is not the only sentence that uses every letter in the alphabet. There are many more such as: Wafting zephyrs quickly vexed Jumbo. (excluded from the list by some because it contains a proper noun.) The five boxing wizards jump quickly. Woven silk pyjamas exchanged for blue quartz. Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs. Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz.
