Please note that this is a strong word.

Calling someone a hypocrite could carry strong connotations.

But it sounds like you want a strong word for this :D.

Meanwhile, some other words which also may or may not be strong depending on the situation and tone of voice are: a phony and a fake.

Also see the comments below if you only want to talk about a person who says one thing and then says the opposite the next day (as in your first example about hating and liking to talk on the phone).
