No you cannot.
In any circumstance you need to show the phone to them to extend the warranty so they can inspect that the phone is fully working.

What do u mean refresh your warranty? Once it's expired you can't extend it any more. You have to purchase and activate AppleCare before the year original warranty expires. All you can do now is pay th out of warranty fee to get the phone replaced.
If your device was still under its included warranty, then yes, you could buy the extended "AppleCare Protection Plan" over the phone. Or online. Or in a store.
But as Applejuiced said, once the included warranty on an Apple device has expired, you cannot then buy the extended AppleCare Protection Plan. It's too late.
Yes, its $149. They will take your faulty iphone and replace it for you.
You can do it over the phone and they will send you the info and the replacement by mail.
You dont have to drive to the Apple store if you dont want to.
Cool, I didn't know that they had reduced it (from US$199) for any iPhone older than the 4s.
