We don't need to have taken the phone across the barrier. Frisk can have left and the phone can still be in the underground.

"But if Frisk did cross the Barrier, then that's Option 1-Meaning Neutral Runs would be fine for Chara's plan, so it makes sense why they only said "another path" while not explicitly telling you to not kill a single monster."

But it then doesn't make sense why Chara doesn't destroy everything on a neutral route if they can leave at any time. But we never see Frisk droping their phone in the underground and we never ask them to and the narrator doens't even narrate it while they always narrate this kind of stuff. And if they really dropped it in the undeground, i wonder why the player would still receive the phone calls.

That's further evidence that only living beings cant cross the barrier because Frisk's friends can call them on the surface. I think they dropped their phone on accident. And besides, how did no one find Frisk in Asgore's castle? This is especially a problem if Frisk is alive and well, since they would likely be moving around and such in order to get food. And if Frisk is dead, there shouldn't be any way for us to hear the phone call because Frisk is dead so Chara is (more) dead!
