The phrase new phone who dis grew out of everyday texting culture in the 2010s, when changing phones and losing contacts was a common excuse for not recognizing a number. As screenshots and chat memes spread on social media, it turned into a stock joking reply that implied the sender was not worth saving. It survived because it works without context, instantly signaling playful rejection. The short audio version is now reused on soundboards and in edits wherever a character wants to dodge a call, a text, or an unwanted conversation.
About this sound
The 'new phone who dis' voice clip is a deadpan reply pretending not to recognize a caller, widely used for unknown numbers, fake texts and awkward DM openers.
This is a short voice clip built around the line new phone who dis, delivered as a flat, pretend-confused response to someone contacting you. The joke is the fake memory loss, acting as if a new phone erased every contact and conversation. It lands because the delivery is casual and dismissive rather than angry, making it perfect for brushing someone off without escalating. Creators use it as a reaction sting for texts from unknown numbers, exes reappearing, or any message you would rather pretend you never received.
