agree  Charles Davis: Yes, or perhaps "no haber podido atender su llamada": sounds like the sort of thing they'd say. But of course "llamadas perdidas" is common lingo with mobiles.

  -> Yes, I can see the drawback - but specifically I didn't use "no haber podido atender" in order not to show that the speaker simply wasn't by the phone as opposed to refusing to answer it! If you see what I mean....
agree  Beatriz Ramírez de Haro: Sí, "haber perdido". Saludos Noni

agree  Smartranslators: Esta es la que más natural me suena... "Siento no haber podido contestar a/atender su llamada"
3 hrs
  -> gracias
agree  Toni Romero: A mi también me gusta más, especialmente con la variante propuesta por Marga, en el sentido de no haber podido atender, que es más disculpable que no haber atendido. :-) Saludos!
4 hrs
  -> gracias
agree  RaquelMòdol: Es lo más natural y ajustado a la forma informal de "I am sorry" vs. un 'lamento/pido disculpas', que equivaldría a un "I apologize".
