About
Phone phobia is a psychological condition in which an individual experiences extreme fear or avoidance of using the telephone. In some cases, it is primarily experienced while making (as opposed to receiving) phone calls, but it can also escalate to the point where the phone-phobic is afraid to listen to messages on their answering machine.

 * CTRN: somewhat dubious, as their ad says "To learn more about our 24-hour fear of phones program, please call us at 1-800-828-7484"... &lt;facepalm&gt; (sort of like the famed "Illiterate? Write to this address..." posters)
