Is a verbal divorce over the phone considered a divorce, and is it the third divorce that makes a woman unlawful to her husband?

Divorce via telephone takes effect if the husband acknowledges it or if two just witnesses attest to it. If the third divorce () occurs over the phone, the wife becomes unlawful for her husband and is not permissible for him until she marries another man willingly, and then he divorces her after consummation. The presence of children does not prevent the divorce from taking effect.
