Unfortunately criminal cases are often one person's word against another although there is usually something to corroborate the case - here it could be a record of the phone call being made or evidence of an existing grudge or other behaviour previously directed at the complainant.

If your friend denies the call was ever made then the complainant's record of incoming calls will be important, particularly if the complainant claims to identify your friend's phone number or voice?

This doesn't appear to be an assault that would fall into the most serious sentencing band, but it may be that she could receive a community order. Her age and lack of convictions and admissions in interview that demonstrate remorse may well mean there could be an argument for a fine. She ought to see a solicitor, or at the very least ask for the duty solicitor at court to check that it is appropriate for her to plead guilty and if so put mitigation on her behalf.
