A man is out somewhere and ends up accidentally calling his own home phone number.

Aaah! I swear I just read this sometime in the past few months! Let me go back through the stuff I was reading.

The second is "Adjustment Team" by Philip K Dick (who might be the author of the first story as well). It's been done as an episode of The Twilight Zone ("Gabe's Story") and was the basis for the movie The Adjustment Bureau.

Also, while this won't help your query, there is indeed an episode of Eerie Indiana like that, called "The Lost Hour." If you forget to set your clock backward/forward for DST (I forget which), you end up stuck in a different hour than the rest of the world.

I remember a story similar to the first one, but the man phoned to his past self... It was called The Other End of the Line, by Walter Tevis. I don't know if that's the story you remember, but it's a nice short story and you should read it anyway. You can find it in an anthology called Far From Home.
