Ugh. I did a phone interview once. It sucked. You lack the visual clues to know when someone has started and/or stopped speaking. I talked over the interviewer once, but a couple times sorting out my answer to a question left an awkward silence. Be careful.
Good Luck!
I've found the opposite. I've even been told by one employer "You sounded much better on the phone than in person." Being unconventional looking (don't wear a bra, dress in men's clothes, fat) I don't benefit from the visual cues as much as I might, and my phone voice is awesome.
