It probably depended on who answered the phone. Some people are not able to understand proper English that is spoken with foreign accents.

I can't really give you advice as I haven't heard the call. We aren't allowed to criticize people here for their level of english....so I hope you'll not take what I say in a negative way. You do have some errors in grammar so maybe that'd be carried forward to the phonecall? I really don't mean to be unkind as I can totally understand what you're saying so your english is good...maybe the job just required absolute fluency.
