Make sure if you have water there to drink that it does not have any ice in it it causes distraction to the interviewer when it is placed back down or when you are drinking.

I have also heard about dressing comparable to a regular interview.

Ensure that where you are going to have the phone call is free from foot traffic.

Practice with a friend by having them call you and asking you questions about your past or work history.

Watch the ums. it is real easy to put them in but a simple pause is much more effective. You can have that friend do a critique of how you came across. Tone, diction, and pitch are very important on phone interviews since they take the place of hand gestures that you would naturally do.
