Anxiety and fear of stammering, there is no scientific name for it. Many people whether they have a stammer or not, can have difficulty using the telephone. Using the telephone can cause a great deal of anguish and people learn to cope with it in their own way. Concentrate on what you have to say, rather than worry about any blocks. Your purpose is to communicate, whether you have a stammer or not. Pay attention to your fluent speech. Watching yourself in a mirror while phoning can be helpful as you will be able to see where the tension lies in your face and other parts of your body. If you persevered with a difficult call and felt you communicated well then praise or treat yourself and remember the good feeling that a successful call gave you.

I don't know if there is a name for it, but it is a form of social anxiety. Just google "fear of talking on phone" and see what all pops up - there's lots of information there if you need it.

probably telephobia if it existed, which i dont think does.
maybe xenophobia? are you afraid of other people and talking to them on the phone?
