You could also create a remember task/note with the details and then
file it under your current clocking task (You are clocking your phone
calls right? ;) )
If you start the clock on the phone call task then you can use C-M-r to
start remember, pick your template (I have one for phone calls that
inserts details of who it is based on bbdb information) then you can
file it as a subtask of the currently clocked item with C-2 C-c C-c.
So many options... so little time :)
Pick whatever fits your work-flow the best -- or come up with something
new!
