i didnt have to call him vs i havent called him

Both phrases are correct, but they convey slightly different meanings. 'I didn't have to call him' implies that there was no necessity or obligation to call him, while 'I haven't called him' simply states that the action of calling him has not yet occurred. The choice between the two depends on the specific context and the intended meaning.
