If Closed Captioning on TV is any guide, then dialogue heard over a phone would be in italics, not in quotes. The same would apply to dialogue audible when the phone is on speaker and as over a walkie-talkie.
The problem with that in a novel is that internal thoughts are indicated by italics. Too much italics? Confusion to the reader?
How to best write telephone conversations in a novel?
