It is typical to consider collecting qualitative data via telephone only when face\u2010to\u2010face interview is not possible. During a grounded theory study, exploring users\u2019 experiences with overnight mask ventilation for sleep apnoea, the authors selected the telephone to conduct interviews. This article reports participants\u2019 views on semistructured interview by telephone.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Design<\/jats:title><jats:p>An inductive thematic analysis was conducted on data pertaining to the use of the telephone interview in a grounded theory study.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The data were collected during 4\u00a0months of 2011 and 6\u00a0months in 2014.

From each participants reports we identified four themes from the data: being \u2018phone savvy; concentrating on voice instead of your face; easy rapport; and not being judged or feeling inhibited.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>By drawing on these data, we argue that the telephone as a data collection tool in grounded theory research and other qualitative methodologies need not be relegated to second best status. Rather, researchers can consider telephone interview a valuable first choice
