Alphys says "it even has a keychain!" when she upgrades our phone.

She doesn't say she added one.. only that the new phone has one.

If it's an upgraded phone, it could easily be part of the original phone, carried over.

Besides Alphy's mentioning the keychain, we also have the Mystery Key to Mettaton's House, which is 'too bent to fit on your keychain'.

The keychain is definitely a lore clue.

Whatever trick Sans employs to seemingly teleport, Frisk uses the exact same ability triggered by the exact same sound. And when Frisk warped back in a moment later, Sans is there waiting for him in the new place.

It might be impossible to actually harm someone in a Time Stopped state, since they'd basically be an immoble statue during the freeze, invincible until the freeze ended. Which would also make slipping a key onto the keychain difficult since you couldnt' actually manipulate the keyring to slide a key onto it.

But if Sans is using a Time Stop to teleport, then why does Frisk somehow end up with him after going the wrong direction? And why doesn't Sans ever use this ability with Papyrus, forcing him to walk to Grillby's every time?

And then there's Sans' special attack.

If Sans could actually freeze Frisk in time, we'd never get to hear Sans' speech. Never get to see him slowly fall asleep. We would essentially Not Be until the time stop ended, and we could more and percieve things again.

But that's not what happens, he just prevents it from being our turn, even though we can still find a way to move and act during

Sans really is teleporting. And so is Frisk. If Frisk time stopped Sans, there's no way Sans would immediately have a trap ready for Frisk after the teleport ended.
