Jacky, Toriel recognized Sans' voice during the meetup as The Knock Knock voice, but didn't immediately know that that voice belonged to "Sans". She couldn't have heard Sans' voice over the phone, despite all the times they called about his brother Papyrus. Which means non-verbal communication. Which means texting. Which means that Alphys actualy upgraded Toriel's phone long before this meetup.

I want to add a point to the argument that Sans knew he was addressing someone other than Frisk: When Frisk starts acting weird in the No Mercy route, Sans goes a bit dark and says they could "pretend to be human". Sans is definitley addressing The Anomaly here, knowing that they're messing things up.

Asgore also acts different when we first meet him. Normally, he jumps backwards with a horrified expression of recognition on his face. But strangely, when he meets Chara-possessed Frisk in the No Mercy route.. Asgore acts jovial and clueless. "What kind of monster are you? I cannot tell." As if something about Frisk's basic identity has changed, and the entitiy now controlling him is neither human nor monster. A catagory that applies to both flowers and ghosts.

If Toriel comes on her own, why does she only do this on the True Pacifist route? You'd think she would always show up, if she was still alive, since nothing about Asgore himself has changed. But no.. it's only when she gets called that she appears to stop Asgore. And Sans only calls her if Frisk has been 100% good and befriended everyone.

If Sans saw Frisk himself, and knew exactly when Frisk would show up, why wouldn't he be right outside to greet Frisk? Why is Alphy's camera the first thing we meet? And we meet Sans long before we actually reach the guard station, he starts stalking us shortly after we emerge, putting on his little horror show of making the twig snap. I imagine Sans got behind us by teleporting, after being informed by Alphys that Frisk was there.
