Al-jawab billahi at-taufeeq (the answer with Allah’s guidance)
Firstly, Nikah on the phone is not valid. Also, it is a condition for the validity of marriage that the witnesses be present in the same place the marriage offer and acceptance take place.
However, in a normal situation, if in mock or unintentionally a Shar’i Nikaah was performed where there was an offer and acceptance from both parties in the presence of two adult sane Muslim male witnesses or one such male and two such females then such a Nikaah will take place.
And Only Allah Ta’ala Knows Best.
