I have a power app I am trying to build with a phone list, The field that is giving me trouble is Availability because the data set is a choice selection.

In my drop down named AvailabilitySelector I have the items set to

Choices([@'Phone List'].Availability)

But the filter on the gallery wont work
Filter([@'Phone List'],StartsWith(Availability,AvailabilitySelector.SelectedText.Value))

I have tried to manually input the text in the drop downs and I have even tried a simple text search bar

How to I filter down the linked datas' multiple choice selector ?

or do I need to put a calculated text column on the list to display the value instead?

Please consider changing your Formula to the following:

Filter('Phone List', Availability.Value = AvailabilitySelector.Selected.Value)

Avoid using the SelectedText property on controls as it has been deprecated.

Choice columns are made of records. So trying to compare a record (Availability) to a Text value is not valid. In the above, you are comparing the Value column of the Availability record (which will be text) to the text value selected.

I hope this is helpful for you.
