I was wondering why it wasn't Vous a-t-il appelée - because Emma is feminine ?

Bonjour Kathleen,
L'Imparfait is used here because it is expressing a continuing action and giving a description (see link here) :
qui venait du téléphone fixe = which came (was coming) from the landline -> ongoing
qui est venu du téléphone = which has come from the landline -> completed
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !
