Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

Talaaq issued in the state of anger will take place even if mentioned over the phone. Since you have issued her with three talaaqs, the nikah has permanently terminated. You cannot live with her as husband and wife. (hidayah, pg 402, chapter of Talaaq)

And Allah knows best
