Answer

According to what is written, the Madam probably didn't know she could ask for room service just by calling. Also, from the context, I imagine it is a hotel and when you get the phone it goes directly to the reception, without having to call any number. That may be the reason why B says to Madam simply "lift" or get the phone.

I hope I could help! ;)

Answer

It looks like Madam did not know that she could ask for room service by using the phone and the part were she says "and how was I supposed to know?" suggests that no one had told her this before and that there was no signs or instructions to tell her how to get room service.
