A unilateral contract is a promise (made by A) for a performance (to be done by B). As long as B is told of the retraction prior to performance of the contract, a third party can be the one to inform them. However, B must find the information (the retraction) and the informer to be credible. To be safe, I would tell "B" that you are revoking the offer.
Someone may have more to add to this.

In this type of setting A would have to get B to agree that the breach is not affecting the unilateral agreement or that the agreement is one that can no longer be fulfilled so the action that would have been considered the unilateral agreement is now no longer needed to complete the contract and or agreed on that it is no longer needed. Then it is one that B can no longer have cause for action on. I hope that helped in this hypothetical sitch if it is real then you need to consult a lawyer first to see if the contract is even binding.

A can authorize an agent to deliver a message.
Just like handing a letter to the postman, or using a telegraph, or having a secretary or assistant place the call.
As long as B hasn't begun performance (creating an option to complete) or as long as there is no other separate option preventing revocation, then A can revoke the offer.
