My friends refer to theses as "pocket calls". I have a buddy who made a great piece from one that was a conversation from a moving car. Lots of great background noises that were filtered in strange ways and the conversation was chopped in such a wacky way. I don't know what he did with the track - I'll have to dig it up.

Speaking of which, I have this bad habit of putting my cell in my
pocket when I'm walking around, and at times it does the cwaziest
things, like redials the last number I got a call from and this
particular day, on this particular redial I was visiting the (cough
cough) bathroom.

The previous call was from a past employee who's thinking of making a
music concrete piece from my generously donated source materials which
flipped to his voice mail. Water Music has already been used, but I'm
sure he'll think of something as appropriate to name it.
