The Chatter Telephone is one of the supporting characters in Toy Story 3.
Toy Story 3
Chatter is one of the oldest toys at Sunnyside Daycare. He is first seen hiding behind the corner and ringing to capture Woody's attention after Woody returns to Sunnyside to rescue his imprisoned friends. When Woody picks up the phone, Chatter Telephone tells Woody that he should not have come back, due to Lotso adding more guards and patrols, but gives Woody advice by giving him an escape route of Sunnyside. He also warns about the Monkey who is monitoring the security cameras in the classrooms,

hallways, and the playground and tells Woody to get rid of the Monkey before escaping Sunnyside. He is very tough, speaks with a film noir style, and says that Lotso will never break him. However, in the end, Chatter is brutally beaten and ultimately broken by Lotso and his crew for helping the toys escape until he finally talks. He apologizes to Woody for this, but Woody fully understands what Chatter went through and sympathises with him.
During the end credits, when Sunnyside is revolutionized into a cool and groovy toy paradise, Chatter is shown to be repaired (possibly by Twitch and Sparks) and happy. He is seen during a disco party that is held in the Butterfly Room as he comes to a brief stop and rings in front of Ken, and Ken mimes talking on the phone as Chatter rolls away.
Personality
Chatter cannot speak unless his receiver is lifted from its cradle, and rings as a way of getting someone to pick up his receiver. When Woody returns to the Caterpillar Room at Sunnyside Daycare, after coming from the Butterfly Room via Bonnie's backpack, Chatter Telephone explains how to escape Sunnyside (where the key is hidden, how to avoid the security cameras, etc). He also tells Woody about "The Monkey": a toy monkey that serves as chief of security at Sunnyside. He claims he can "never be broken," though when figured out that he helped Andy's Toys escape, Lotso and his henchmen break him. In the end credits, the toys at Sunnyside repair him, and he enjoys a happier life there.
