This is such a common stutter experience. Phones are the devil. Lots of different things made me more comfortable with calls over time (general self esteem, feeling less embarrassed when I do stutter, etc). But if I'm particularly nervous about a call, I tell the person on the phone that I stutter right at the start of the conversation. My experience is always better after that.
