I have the following data: 

structure(list(osc = c(14944966.1544549, 21761557.221199, 22468349.3727696,

10938578.8058379), type = c("local", "local", "local", "local", 
"local", "local", "local", "local", "local", "local", "up", "up", 
"up", "up", "up", "up", "up", "up", "up", "up", "down", "down", 
"down", "down", "down", "down", "down", "down", "down", "down"
)), .Names = c("osc", "phone", "type"), row.names = c(NA, 30L
), class = "data.frame")

How can I get a plot which will include a total of 6 boxplots, where the data will be grouped first by type and then for each type there will a boxplot for the osc column and a boxplot for the phone column?

here's an option using reshape:

library(reshape2)
df2 <- melt(df, id.vars="type")
op <- par(ps=12, mar=c(5,4,1,1))
boxplot(value ~ variable + type, df2, las=2, col=c(5:6))
par(op)

require(ggplot2)
require(tidyr)
td<-tidyr::gather(d,key=type)
names(td)<-c("type","osc_local","value")
ggplot(data=td,aes(y=value,x=type,fill=osc_local))+geom_boxplot()

Hope this helps!![enter image description here]1

Are you looking for something like this?

par(mfcol=c(1,2))
boxplot(phone ~ type, data=d, main="phone")
boxplot(osc ~ type, data=d, main="osc")

 par(mfrow = c(1,2))
 boxplot(dataframe$osc ~ dataframe$type , main = "phone")
 boxplot(dataframe$phone ~ dataframe$type , main = "osc")
