Really depends on the context of the phone call. Usually if I have to make an appointment or do something with insurance, I just tell them that I have a speech impediment and it might take longer than expected, or whatever. That really helps reduce some of the anxiety about stuttering. If it's just a friend or family, I just stutter like if I were talking to them right there. I sometimes imagine seeing them actually standing there and it occasionally helps.
