telephony

This is the science of turning sounds into another type of media (radio, Light, electrical signals, etc), sending them to another location, usually far away, and then back into sound.

Telephony software is software that can be installed on your computer to send sound via modem, or via IP (VoIP). There is also telephony software to turn a computer in an advanced fax, and answering machine.
Telephone: You say "hello", it gets turned into electrical signals, travels through the wire, then to the phone on the other end, and back into sound, so that the person on the other end hears "hello".

VoIP (Voice over IP): You say "hello" into the mic, the computer turns it into 1s and 0s, sends it into an IP packet, into you cable modem, your ISP will possibly turn that into a fiber optic signal, back into an electrical signal at your VoIP provider. The VoIP provider will then send it to the phone it needs to go, OR send it to the other VoIP recipient.

Telephonophobia

Telephonophobia, in plain terms, means fear of telephones but it’s not the physical telephone that haunts. It includes fear of receiving or making a call. So, when it comes to make or receive a call, you get nervous and sweaty along with shivers. You avoid calls and ask others to do it for you.
Oh shit it's the boss on the phone, mate can you answer it and tell him I have food poisoning? (A real case of telephonophobia)

Telephobia

Fear of communicating long distance (not just on the phone).

This word has the greek prefix "tele" that means distant communication, and phobia, which means fear.
I don't like communicating over a long distance because I could embarrass myself because I don't know much about the other countries that they live in. I think I have telephobia.
