Phone vulture

A person who spends the entire day waiting for a phone call, usually darting their eyes to the phone every few seconds to see if it would start magically ringing. Like a vulture, whenever someone else would like to make a phonecall or receive one, the phone-vulture screams at them to "keep the freaking lines open", and on most occasions rears up to attack.

For cellphone-users, people usually look at the screen every two minutes to see the time, and check their inbox for any unread text-messages.
Fred: Did you see how Jenny was waiting around the phone like that? My grandmother is calling today and she won't let me use it.

Carol: Oh, yeah. She had a one night stand with Tom and he's supposed to call her. Of course he never will, but you know how much of a phone vulture she can be.

Phone running

Working out with a remote partner while on the phone with each other for encouragement and support. Just like going running together in person except you're in different locations so can only connect by phone but can still be together. Made substantially easier with earbuds and unlimited long-distance calling.
Tricia is out of town so we went phone running for 45 minutes this morning.

Phone Paranoia

The fake mental condition of constantly thinking your mobile phone is vibrating in your pockets, signalling a call or a message, when in reality, it isn't and there was no call or message. This leads to the phone owner constantly pulling their mobile phone out to check.
Person 1: -Checks Phone. Dude! I think have phone paranoia!
Person 2: Ah I've had that for ages, it's so annoying
Person 1: Definitely, i look like a fool always checking my phone.
