This is the first time I've heard of phone phobia. Usually, people have a hard time communicating over the phone due to a lack of socialization, searching for topics, etc., but this is something new. I have only encountered this problem when meeting people in real life because I find it very difficult to find a topic of conversation and also to start a dialogue with a person, but in moments when
there is silence, I just try to tell some funny story from my life, which helps me a lot. I have a lot of friends and I talk to them all the time via VoIP number and facetime.
