Typically phone interviews' purpose is to 'weed' some of the candidates out before proceeding to in-person interviews. Recruiters will inform you about the role and the benefits, ask you questions about your background, and generally get a feel for you. Usually, recruiters aren't too informed about the nitty-gritty aspects of the positions (programming languages, etc) so save the technical details unless they specify. Focus on sounding like a genuine person who is interested and confident in their abilities to take on the job.
My advice would be to keep it like a business conversation that flows. The only communication is voice so being able to project a positive tone is necessary as it shows enthusiasm.
You will be far less nervous than you are imagining - it's simpler than you think.
