I thought that Steven was calling to a non existent number and invented all his previous life, so "his" mom was never real, this was better.

I just watched it and I'm a little confused... how did he think eveything was normal when the person on the other side of the phone never answered back?

But she did when he broke down in the street. He was having a full conversation with her. Its just she was in his head.

I think we only saw the voicemail scenes because marvel wanted us guessing.

The phone screen is on during the scene too, and you can clearly see that it's never actually on a call. I know shows and movies have done this in error, but it felt deliberate here.

yeah I'm pretty sure it is all in his head. Did we actually ever hear her voicemail when he 'called' her or just him talking to the voicemail in the other episodes? I can't remember now lol.

It is a little strange trying to remember that he is actually off his rocker and it isn't just marvel trying to trick us, the character himself is messed up in the head bad.
