You must not have called her 1. You must have called her.
2. You should have called her.
Is 1 same in meaning with 2?
or, Is 2 grammatical and make sense?

Re: You must not have called her The title of the thread, "You must not have called her", is not very natural in BrE. If we are talking about the logical certainty of not calling, we normally express it as 'You can't have called her".
Context is important. Please provide enough for us to be able to deal effectively with your question.
Your thread title should include all or part of the word/phrase being discussed.
