Even companies use phone interviews as a way to screen potential candidates. An example would be when I was on a temporary assignment in a law firm and a permanent opportunity called my cell phone during work. When I was hired I noticed that when they were searching for another candidate someone mentioned that their phone presence was poor. I asked if that had been used on me as well and they said yes. I always answer the phone professionally because like the lotto, "You never know". This is great advice that I can definitely back up.
