it'll change everything, but nothing. As people find out that knowing the future also simultaneously changes it. After all, take your average Bookmaker's, and a race. If everyone knows beforehand that the long-shot will win, they'll put their money on the long-shot. The Bookmaker, not wanting to lose thousands, doesn't need to look to the future. He just needs to set his odds based on a sudden glut of people betting on what was once a long-shot. By the time the race runs, it's become the odd's-on favourite.
And of course, there's the ultimate terror of ringing yourself.... and getting no answer. Did I just leave my phone off tomorrow, or has something....unfortunate happened?
Or predestination paradoxes, where ringing yourself in the future causes your future self to die.
Or deliberately introducing a paradox, like destroying the phone you called the future on, right after making the phone call. Some idiot will doubtless find a way to crash this particular simulation of the universe....
