Legal Question in DUI Law in Pennsylvania

Can an official court summons be served by phone? Last night, one of my boyfriends old friends received a voicemail stating that my boyfriend (not the friend who was contacted) was being summoned. There were no charges stated, however he was pulled over 7 months ago and was asked to take a field sobriety test and go for blood work, but never heard anything back about it, and he is afraid he is being summoned for that. The voicemail didn't state a date either. Regardless of the circumstances, I was wondering if this is even a possible way for a court summon to be served.

No. Why would someone call a friend of your boyfriend? This makes no sense. Does the friend have caller id and did he note the number calling him? Was it a number for the court? If not, then this sounds like a scam of some sort.
