you know what? I've been wondering the same thing for the longest time. They may just be random phone calls, but they can always be Chekhov's guns. What baffles me the most is the specific call Okiya was receiving. As far as we know, nobody but Conan knows that Akai's alive. Who is this person contacting him. Then there's Sera. She just moved back to Japan, and only seems to be hanging out with Ran and Sonoko. Is this a phone call from one of her other classmates, or is it from one of her contacts in the US? We don't know yet. We can sit here and theorize all we want, but if they/re important phone calls, we will for sure read about them again. Give it another 30 volumes or so.

The general consensus seems to be that Yukiko called Okiya. After all, they were working together on the train. If you think about it, the first place she'd go would be Shinichi's house and he probably didn't tell her someone was staying at their house (considering he didn't tell them that he turned into a kid), so it wouldn't be surprising if she walked in on him brushing his teeth just like everyone else. As for Sera, that one's trickier. Theories include Eisuke and James Black. One that just occurred to me is her parents.

*sigh* I guess so...

Maybe this will take part in revealing who Sera really is, you know, other than the fact that she's Akai's sister but more of her contacts in FBI or America? Who knows.

But I'm quite sure it must be important, to put all 3 phone calls coming at the same time...

Well the main purpose of all 3 phone calls coming in at the same time was to keep the suspense of "Who is Burbon?" but still being able to show that Vermouth had some kind of promise with Bourbon that he'd just proved that he would keep, likely being that he should protect Conan.  And all 3 couldn't have been called about the same thing, because there's only one Bourbon

I mean, she's Vermouth... aka the second most mysterious character up to date.
