Hello there,
As far as I know 'Remember' & 'Recall' are used in different situations. To be more specific, following two examples will shed some light on it.
1) I don't remember where I was last night
2) Me: "I can't seem to recall where I was last night"
I watch a lot of American movies & I have seen this a lot of times where they guy says "Dude, you gotta remember that phone number, it's really important. You will get us fired otherwise".
So, in this scene, person who's speaking is requesting the other to recall the phone to save their jobs.
Should he not have used "Recall" instead?
Hope the examples help you help me
