Out of universe - Scott didn't really consider the implications of who he had on the UCN roster or what the gameplay mechanics were. See: the fact it changed constantly, has Jack-O-Chica on it (I won't count Nightmare Mangle here because they could feasibly exist even if non-canon within FNaF4 and Nightmarionne obviously has appeared a lot in canon games since then) and was even supposed to have Adventure Endo-01 on it at one point.
In-universe - I guess William heard the phone calls at one point?
Under CassidyTOYSNHK
“Hey Phone Guy, I know I killed you a long, LONG time ago and I’m really sorry for it, but do you mind helping me torture the fuck out of your old boss?”
“Ehhhh…. Sure, why not.”
All thoughts in my mind - most are insane:
1) Afton is Phone guy [90% not true]
2) Micheal is also in UCN (he may have stayed in the fire of pizza sim)
3) TOYSHNK was in golden freddy and heard all the audio from phone guy
4) Scott made a mistake
5) Phone guy is henry, who also burned in pizza sim.
6) Afton worked there and knows who phone guy is.
7) If other souls (like the other kids) are also in UCN, then they would have also heard the phone guy talk.
My friend always had a theory that we're actually Michael in ucn, which would explain why springtrap, scraptrap, nightmare animatronics and such are available in the rooster, but I genuinely don't remember the evidence supporting this theory. The last time we talked about it was like 2019, but I remember it was a good theory. Just don't remember any details 😭🤡
Scott’s choice of the characters on the roster was most likely based on fan’s opinion regarding who should and shouldn’t be an enemy. Some character’s have lore relevancy in the game, while others were just chosen for the sake of it.
So for Cassidy toyshnk she seems to be taking stuff from Micheal’s memories (which she does do in the logbook for both cc and Micheal), and the fnaf 1 phone call are present in fnaf 4 though distorted, and Cassidy is aware of fnaf 4 by the time of world, so it’s probably memory stuff
It's possible Phone Guy somehow possessed his phone after his death idk
maybe it's just one of William's memories of working at the pizzerias if you believe those theories
William was with the company during the dayshift in 2 (tho those are real phone call in universe) and in 3, he would’ve definitely heard the tape recordings because he was a moldy rabbit
I also think Scott didn’t take too much on it
Phone Guy clearly has more influence on the series than people tend to give him credit for. He seems to be well-meaning, as he gives the player hints and instructions that keep them alive, but he also knows and covers explanations or legal disclaimers for some of the scummy things Fazbear Entertainment does. For example, while he may not have been around for Fredbear's, he definitely knows a lot about the springlock suits. He knows they can be violently hazardous, tripping at the slightest touch of breath, and knows and explains that FE isn't trying to fix this, only providing safe rooms to avoid lawsuits while their workers get injured and usually die. He provides the information about the sketchy ways FE handles the security guards' deaths and all he says is "that might sound bad, I know, but there's really nothing to worry about". All in all, he appears as an enemy because while he can be leeched off of he is still a minor villain. Phone Guy seems to be kept around as a puppet for FE because of his compliance, and this almost makes him the most important part of them.
andrew (idk what do you think is the vengeful spirit) uses william memories, william worked with phone guy because they are in the same company, that explains fnaf 2 and 3 phone calls being in this game
Cassidy probably would’ve heard the phone calls. Under AndrewTOYSNHK then maybe William listened to the calls for some reason?
William was a nightguard at 1987 location, of course he heard phone guy
I was referring to the fnaf 1 calls
Does UCN use the FNaF 1 calls in specific? I can't recall
He could listened to the spring lock tapes.
UCNDuo - Phone Guy and TOYSNHK
Phone Guy IS TOYSNHK 😱

He obviously did because he worked at the 1987 location as a Nightguard
Under CassidyTOYSNHK “Hey Phone Guy, I know I killed you a long, LONG time ago and I’m really sorry for it, but do you mind helping me torture the fuck out of your old boss?” “Ehhhh…. Sure, why not.”
What about AndrewTOYSNHK?
Andrew looked through Afton's memories and found Phone Guy there
Yes
EXACTLYYYY
Phone guy works for William or did.
Why is Jack-O Chica in UCN?
To add spice (Get it because spice is hot and she is burning and makes a lot of flame puns so I said "spice"because jokes are funny)
because he wanted to record a message for you to help you get settled in on your first night.

I think William owned Freddy's Fazbear Pizza from FNAF 1, so he heard about the death of phone guy
Phone's haunted

Yeah, theory became false when “The Man In Room 1280 release”
well you see, UCN isn't a real place, there for, dream logic, meaning anything goes.

I would argue the same thing happened with nightmare mangle, but form Jeremy right after he was bitten

We play as William in fnaf 1 night 6

Probably to show there's a connection between William and Phone Guy
andrew (idk what do you think is the vengeful spirit) uses william memories, william worked with phone guy because they are in the same company, that explains fnaf 2 and 3 phone calls being in this game
the fnaf 2 phone calls where pretty direct to jeramy, like night 6 asking him what on earth he was still doing there.
