7. Two minutes ago a friend of mine ~~gave me a phone call~~ phoned/called me, and I didn't answer (her call ~~telephone)~~. didn't answer her call or didn't answer or didn't answer [the / my] [phone/telephone].

She answers her phone when her phone rings.
You answer your phone when your phone rings.
If your phone is ringing, you don't answer her phone. To do that you would have to be where she is.
But if you were visiting her, and her phone rang, and she was too busy to come to the phone, you could answer her phone for her (in her place) and tell the caller to wait until she can come to the phone.

Afterwards she sent a message to me and ~~she~~ asked "Why didn't you answer (my call ~~telephone~~)?
Did you know you hurt my feelings?"

- Can I say ~~like~~ this to her or not? [Can I say this (to her) (or not)? or Can I say something like this (to her) (or not)?]
I didn't intend to hurt your your feelings at all. ~~The reason~~ I didn't answer (your call ~~telephone~~)
because ~~at that time I hadn't heard my mobile phone's voice.~~ I didn't hear the phone ring.

You have two choices:

I didn't answer because I didn't hear the phone (ring).
The reason I didn't answer was that I didn't hear the phone (ring).
