A supernatural and otherworldly phone, but more commonly a cellphone. It may have the ability to tell the future, it could act as a personal teleportation device or even as a weapon. It may also allow conversations with the dead or supernatural and probably needs Super Cell Reception.
This type of phone tends to crop up in Urban Fantasy works. Also, in sci-fi, instead of having paranormal origins the phone might be highly technologically advanced as an excuse to do all sorts of impossible things. In horror, the phone is usually an Evil Phone and might even be an Artifact of Doom.
See also Phone Call from the Dead, Reinventing the Telephone, Telephone Teleport, Subspace Ansible, and Paranormal Mundane Item which often overlap. Related to Magical Camera (especially if it's a camera phone). Contrast Cell Phones Are Useless.

Shin Megami Tensei IV and especially Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse keep this concept rolling, mostly in an example of Technology Marches On. It turns out you don't need a bulky wrist-mounted computer gauntlet or a specialized PDA disguised as a handgun in the age of smartphones. They even cover Demon Fusion better than the older devices did.

In Kamen Rider Revice, Fenix agents are issued the Gundephone50, which is a smartphone that can turn into a gun. Vice can also possess Ikki's Gundephone50 to communicate with people, as normally Ikki's the only one that can see and hear him.

In The World Ends with You, the main characters receive the rules for the day's games from the Reapers with their cellphones through text messages. Joshua, however, kicks it up a notch using his to use initiate his attacks which include dropping objects and Jesus beams on his enemies. Later on, Neku's phone gets an upgrade that allows it to take pictures of the past, which is used less frequently than you'd think.

In Bleach, some Shinigami, Rukia at least, are shown to use special cell phones to detect spiritual pressure in a close location in the World of the Living and to communicate with Soul Society. Lampshaded by Ichigo when he learns Urahara gave one to Uryuu during the time-skip: when Uryuu tells Ichigo to text him, Ichigo points out that a Soul Society phone isn't going to be compatible with "normal" phones.

In Dark Gathering, a sex worker was killed by a gang of stalkers in a phone booth, or so the story goes. Her ghost took up residence in the booth and kills anyone who either enters the booth or calls its number. She is able to speak through the phone booth's receiver, which Yayoi uses to imprison her.

Shin Megami Tensei:
Played with in Devil Survivor. In the first game, the protagonists receive COMPs — "Communications Players" that look like DS systems — which have been hacked to use the Demon Summoning Program; not quite cell phones, but in much the same spirit. The second game does use cell phones, but there's nothing inherently unusual about them: they only become unusual once the Demon Summoning App is force-installed on them.
In Persona and Persona 2, Igor has a phone that allows him to fuse Personas through cards. In Persona 3 and onwards, he drops the phone and instead uses his magic to fuse them.
Shin Megami Tensei IV and especially Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse keep this concept rolling, mostly in an example of Technology Marches On. It turns out you don't need a bulky wrist-mounted computer gauntlet or a specialized PDA disguised as a handgun in the age of smartphones. They even cover Demon Fusion better than the older devices did.

There have been several iterations of Power Rangers/Super Sentai wherein their cellphones have been incorporated with their morphers. How many of them see regular use as phones depend on the series. Owing to the age of the franchise, they started out as flip-phones, then got progressively sleeker, and the most recent case resembled a smartphone.

It operates wirelessly and is even able to communicate directly with its owner if he's away from it.

Pokémon Sword and Shield expands on the "Rotomdex" introduced in Pokémon Sun and Moon with Rotom Phones, cellular phones possessed and powered by the literal Electromagnetic Ghost Pokémon Rotom. This allows them to fly and operate on their own, at their owner's direction. They can be mounted on the player's bicycle to generate a charge that grants a temporary speed boost. Their levitation is also used to save their owners from would-be fatal falls, carrying them at the very last second to negate fall damage.

Early on in Undertale, you get a cellphone which is by all means pretty normal, capable of making phone calls, although how a cellphone can get reception deep underground is never explained. Later, you get an upgrade to your phone that allows you to access your item storage chest at any time and adds a second chest, unless you follow a specific story route that causes the NPC who provides it to not appear.

Dial H for Hero has a mysterious Transformation Trinket that appears to be a rotary dial with alien script instead of numbers attached to a strap. Later comics attach the rotary to actual phones, with origins in a civilization terminally dependent on similar devices. The 2018 title runs full tilt into this and introduces four color-coded dials, all mounted on and operated like various rotary dial phones, with unique transformations, whose effects can be transmitted through phone connections for mass empowering.

Kamen Rider has increasingly included special gadget phones that can be included in the toyline as Official Cosplay Gear:
Kamen Rider 555 is the first and best-known, as the series is based around Shoe Phone technology. The Faiz Phone is a flip phone that can turn into a gun, and is a key part of Faiz's Transformation Trinket.
In Kamen Rider Double, both Philip and Shotaro have Stag Phones that turn into stag beetle robots, control their vehicles remotely, and attach to Double's weapons to enhance them. Sixth Ranger Terui has a similar phone that's modeled on a horned beetle (contrasting Double's stag).
Kamen Rider Ghost has two phone gadgets that can either turn into little robots or attach to the Riders' gear to make a new weapon. Ghost has one in the style of an old rotary phone that turns into a condor or forms a crossbow, while Specter has a cell phone that can become either a cobra or a scythe.
Kamen Rider Build, in what would become a recurring trend, has a smartphone that can enlarge and transform into a motorcycle.
The heroes of Kamen Rider Zi-O each have the Faizphone X, which comes in the form of a pocketwatch but does unfold into a phone and, just like the original Faiz Phone, a gun.
Kamen Rider Zero-One has the Rise Phone, which, like Build's, is a smartphone that transforms into a motorcycle.
Kamen Rider Saber uses the smartphone-to-motorcycle transformation yet again, with each of the Riders owning Gatrike Phones that turn into three-wheelers.
In Kamen Rider Revice, Fenix agents are issued the Gundephone50, which is a smartphone that can turn into a gun. Vice can also possess Ikki's Gundephone50 to communicate with people, as normally Ikki's the only one that can see and hear him.

In Another World with My Smartphone's main gimmick is that after God mistakenly kills Ordinary High-School Student Touya Mochizuki too soon, he decides to give the boy a second chance at life in a magical fantasy world while giving Touya one wish to make up for killing him. Touya asked him if he could keep his smartphone. Now it has service in and GPS maps of said fantasy world, can access the internet of Touya's home universe, and can make direct calls to God. Touya mostly uses it for maps, selfies, and looking up how to make ice cream online.

The landlines and cell phones owned by the faerie in the October Daye series are all magicked for privacy and to work under odd magical conditions where technology ordinarily would not function.

Kamen Rider 555 is the first and best-known, as the series is based around Shoe Phone technology. The Faiz Phone is a flip phone that can turn into a gun, and is a key part of Faiz's Transformation Trinket.

The heroes of Kamen Rider Zi-O each have the Faizphone X, which comes in the form of a pocketwatch but does unfold into a phone and, just like the original Faiz Phone, a gun.

Pokémon:
Pokémon Sword and Shield expands on the "Rotomdex" introduced in Pokémon Sun and Moon with Rotom Phones, cellular phones possessed and powered by the literal Electromagnetic Ghost Pokémon Rotom. This allows them to fly and operate on their own, at their owner's direction. They can be mounted on the player's bicycle to generate a charge that grants a temporary speed boost. Their levitation is also used to save their owners from would-be fatal falls, carrying them at the very last second to negate fall damage.
The Player Character in Pokémon Legends: Arceus is gifted an Arc Phone, which is their modern-day smartphone empowered by the light of Arceus and distinguished by a unique Arceus-themed case. In addition to giving Arceus a direct line to the player (via text message), it also displays a map of the area and directions for missions given out by the Galaxy Expedition Team and surrounding townsfolk.

Doctor Who:
In "The End of the World", the Doctor upgrades Rose's phone to be able to call home across the entirety of space and time.
The title character of "The Empty Child" manages to activate the dummy prop phone on the outside of the TARDIS, much to the Doctor's amazement.
Every companion since Rose has had their phone upgraded. They're referred to as "superphones". The Doctor themself has one that originally belonged to Martha Jones.

In Hunter × Hunter, Shalnark uses his cell phone, Black Voice, as his weapon of choice. It lets him mind-control anyone he places a receiver on (and seems to control what they say via him texting the phrases). He can also stick a receiver on himself to give himself a power boost, though he can only move by inputting commands into the phone, and it quickly exhausts him of his energy. It can work as a normal cell phone. Black Voice has since fallen into the hands of Chrollo. Chrollo can exploit Black Voice even further than Shalnark could, as he has access to two receivers whereas Shalnark could only use one.

In Witch Girls Adventures, the Celestial Cell can be used anywhere on Earth (getting unlimited minutes; this was written before that was normal), and generally eliminating all the crap that comes with owning a cell phone or computer is a work of first level Cybermancy.

It also has magical encryption and protection against tracing. The core rulebook even has rules for transmitting spells by phone.

UQ Holder! has literal magic smartphones: they're non-corporeal and fulfill all the functions of a modern phone and more. In fact, one can literally purchase magic spells (magic apps) and use them from the phone rather than learn the spell the old-fashioned way. That said, magic apps do tend to be weaker or less useful than spells cast by an actual mage, who probably also knows when and how to use the spell more effectively in the first place.

In Board James's review of the Dream Phone, the eponymous phone (a children's toy that's not supposed to be connected to any real phone network) starts giving James threatening phone calls from a Serial Killer anyway. Then it turns out that the phone is said Serial Killer, able to wield a knife even though it's a phone and doesn't have any limbs.

The Mediochre Q Seth Series has Intrusively Mantic 'Phones (IMPs), which have been enchanted with technomancy to be able to mess with electromagnetic signals. Mediochre has one affectionately named 'Chips', which he variously uses to send messages detect and send messages to anyone with a normal phone nearby, block all outgoing transmissions in a given area, mimic the remote-unlocking command of a car key, and occasionally actually call people.

The Hotline in Control, a red rotary phone (with a missing dial) that serves as a direct line between the Director of the Federal Bureau of Control and its Board, a sort of benign Eldritch Abomination. Only the Director is allowed to use it; anyone else who tries suffers a gruesome but unspecified fate. The worse a Director suffers is a little Psychic Nosebleed. It also allows you to hear the final thoughts of the FBC's previous director, recently deceased, providing you with a lot of important context and knowledge about the Bureau.
