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.
Notes
As far as I can tell, this condition is not officially recognized, though if you Google for phone phobia the evidence would seem to indicate that it is a known problem.
