Drink just plain cold water
If you use a hand set phone, make sure you have charged it properly.
Have your resume, paper, pen, and a glass of water handy
Take the call in a quiet area of the house---no kids, vehicles' sound pollution, no dogs, or any other distractions.

Be enthusiastic.Speak confidently, clearly and slowly.
Ask the interviewer about the client location, project duration, etc.

Don't:

When you are on the phone, if you don't understand the question, don't pretend that you did. Ask them to repeat the question.
Do not feel nervous.
Don't sound phony.
If you cannot answer certain questions, admit to the interviewer frankly and offer to do more research on the subject and that you think you can get an answer soon.
If you don't know, simply say that you don't know. Be careful not to misrepresent the information or lie to the interviewer. Trying to cover up the truth only makes things worse.
