My mother used to call me a lot also. I had to explain to our receptionist that she literally didn't remember that she had previously called and to just put the calls through. This is when she was in the retirement home.
I think the way people with AD remember phone numbers is partly muscle memory, particularly if it's a number they have dialed a lot in the past.
One day the phone calls will stop and believe me, you will miss them. In the meantime, I wish you a ton of patience and forbearance as it can be so frustrating and annoying.
