Check out the web site for The Stuttering Foundation and look at their brochure for stutterers on using the telephone. It includes these tips:
Practice should help you to feel happier about using the telephone.
Openly admit that you stutter. This may be very difficult if you have avoided talking about it all your life. Practice talking about your stuttering. Many people have said that talking about it has reduced their anxiety and fear.
Give others the benefit of the doubt. If they know you stutter then they are prepared to expect some silences.
Finally practice, practice, practice. Do not let that modern-day piece of plastic dominate your life. It is far better to use the phone and stutter than to avoid using the phone.
I come from a family of stutterers who found help through The Stuttering Foundation.

Yes I do. I have the same problem but I have been told is is actually rapid speech. If you force yourself to talk slower then you will not stutter and make sure you think before you speak. If I talked to you in person you would not understand me well because I talk very fast. Also, when on the phone try not to be nervous because that can also cause stuttering.

If it's because you're a motor-mouth, speak slower. If it's because you're speaking to a cutie of the opposite gender take a deep breath and think about what you're going to say.

It's probably because you talk too fast. Speak slowly and clearly. Think about something long enough before you say it. I have the same problem. I think it is somewhat genetic.

That happens to me a lot too. What I do is write down what I am planning to say, or some conversation starters and thoughts. It helps me!
