I’ve always used filtered, ie:

Mary picks up the phone and dials Brenda’s number. After two RINGS, Brenda answers.

          BRENDA (filtered)
          Hello?

          MARY
       You won't believe what just happened.

I used to use VO, but then I read on wordplayer.com that filter was the way to go because the voice is coming through an “electronic device that will modify the vocal”

Would that require an (O.S.) parenthetical for the character on the other end?</p> What if you want the audience to be able to hear the character on the other end without seeing them?
