A/the number of people, call, text message
I am writing a summary about a city-wide insulin project for the XYZ practice.
The/a number of patients incomplete due to:
not answering a/the call or not responding to a/the text message
Please explain which articles are correct before "number of people, call and text message".
I have used "the" for all three but have no idea why.
