Q: Breach of contract. Can information provided over the phone by phone companies or banks etc be accepted legally binding
A: Your question is a little confusing. If you mean information in which you agree for phone services with a phone company that benefits you, yes they can be binding subject to the Statute of frauds. That basically states some contracts must be in writing and in this question if the contract is for more than one year it must be in writing. As for banks, you did not give enough information in order for me to answer that question. Best practice is get it in writing.
