Conversation with shuttle driver

Arriving home from Las Vegas, I had made a door-to-door shuttle reservation to get from San Jose airport to my place. My flight was delayed by a half hour, and this apparently confused the shuttle driver. It seems that tried to contact me by phone, except he was using the wrong number.

Driver: You're Zakas?
Me: Yes, that's me.
Driver: Finally! I tried calling you, why you no pick up?
Me: What number are you calling? Is it my home phone?
Driver: I call (repeats my home phone number)
Me: Yeah, that's my home phone number.
Driver: I call multiple times but you no pick up.
Me: I'm sorry, I don't usually pick up that phone when I'm not at home.
