I have phone antipathy -- not nearly as strong as a phobia. I had jobs that required mad phone skillz (retail, law office) so I got over the hemming/hawing/stammering by developing a "phone voice" & smooth phrases to help me stop sounding like a dork. But I occasionally have a relapse where I leave the dorkiest voicemail or I flail around in a phone conversation. Needless to say, I save thousand$ a year by not signing a cell phone contract.
