"phone in" means what?

Question

Hi there,I'd like to know the meaning of phrase "phone in"I wanted this to work so much. I mean I'm still in there, changing his diapers, pickin' his fleas... but he's just phoning it in. Just so hard to accept the fact that something you love so much doesn't love you back.Does it just mean "treat sb. carelessly"? Anyone could go a little deeper to explain this phrase and give some examples? Thanks.
