I think it depends on the job and if it's being done to accommodate the fact that someone can't be there in person. I agree it's a good idea if someone doesn't even live in that city or whatnot. The instances I've had to do phone interviews I didn't have an option, because they wanted both a short phone interview and an in-person interview. Most of them have been part-time positions at for example HMV. I just think it's silly to require it since there's a lot of reasons people might not feel comfortable.
