May a firstborn exempt himself from the Fast of the Firstborn on the eve of Passover by hearing the completion of a tractate over the telephone or radio?
As a matter of basic law, a firstborn should not hear a completion of a tractate over the telephone or radio. However, in extenuating circumstances—if fasting would be difficult for him and he would be unable to conduct the Seder and make the preceding preparations properly—one may be lenient and allow him to listen to and understand the completion recited over the telephone, and then eat.

Attention: You should not learn from one case to another, each case must be analyzed individually. Generally speaking, it's always best to have contact with a Rabbi in person, not just virtual contact. Note that where there is a local Rabbi("Mara Deatra"), one should ask him. The answers are under the responsibility of the rabbi who responded, and not under the responsibility of the website and/or the Head of the Institution.
