Yes, this has puzzled me. How does the third call lead to that conclusion? And why does the mother think that the caller can distinguish O and zero? On mid 20th-century dial telephones there was no O with the 6 (just MN), or am I wrong? If there was, didn't it share the same slot as the zero?

Not a zero, as Jansy said. Dolinin relates it to various things.
Was it someone here who said that if the third call was the same
mistake, it would make 666?
I said that, in Dec. 2004, and pointed out that Christianly it is
the number of the Beast, the Antichrist, death, etc. etc. But I also
pointed out that Jewishly, by Gematria, three 6s make 18, which is life
([chet=8] + [yud=10]). So that as a symbol or sign the three 6s
are completely ambiguous.
