See above.

We have told you time and time again that when you are offering us options to choose from, you have to enclose them in their own set of quotation marks. For example, the first should have looked like this:

The customer: "It is the same number I am calling from. It must be flashing on your screen" or "It is the same number I have called you from. It must be flashing on your screen".

Unless the customer knows what kind of system the receptionist uses, I don't think it's a good idea to assert something like "It must be flashing on your screen". Maybe the system doesn't work that way.

It would be a lot simpler to just give the receptionist the phone number.
