Kirti --
 
I've had that experience too.  I generally start a telephone interview hopping around the person's resume and asking questions about individual jobs... what did they do here... what do they mean by that there.... what was the environment over there... was management supportive in that job over there... now let's talk about the technical side of things... because there's no way to tell whether you are talking to the person who's going in for the F2F over the phone...
 
Notice that nowhere in there is any reference to swallows.  That comes later in the interview when you want to discern whether this is established knowledge or just crammed 30 minutes before the phone is supposed to ring.

Better still, sometimes 'X' takes the questions while 'Y' the candidate just stands next to him
because 'X' can answer but Y does not.

Tel.int means you (most probably) have not seen the guys face..correct??

By the time Visa gets approved (if overseas candidate), 'Y' ensures that he 'gains' some experience.

Oh! Well. I have not seen Tom's book yet.
But still, when the candidate is explaining this stuff to you, there are plenty of opps to
question him/her to find out if he/she really knows fundamental things..
During one phone interview, we could clearly hear the paper shuffle in the background, while the
candidate asked us to repeat the question (a couple of times) to 'make sure' he understood it
correctly before answering (reading?)it :)....
We stopped phone interview process after this!!
